Noun: A distinct political unit, for all intents and purposes a country in its own right, located at the top north-east corner of the island of
Ireland, comprised of six of the nine counties of Ulster.
Also known as God's Own Country or God's Chosen Six Counties, generically as Ulster or the Province, and most often shortened in literature to Norn Iron. A little country of a mere 1.5 million
people, where job opportunities and social cohesion are so absent that most of the population drinks heavily and hates everyone else.
Vodka is cheap here, as is beer, thank god.

Ireland contains everything that is good about the island of
Ireland. The Northern Irish
people have a dark self-deprecating sense of humour. We also beat England in 2005 in a football match and we'll never let them forget it.
Lots of
people in Northern Ireland are inbred. Guinness tastes better up here, too.
Northern Ireland has many enemies in the wider world, but mostly they are just haters, jealous of Our Wee Country.
Foreigner : Northern
Ireland? Never heard of it.

Ireland"
