Ireland

About

Ireland sits in the North Atlantic Ocean and is the second biggest island in the British Isles and the third biggest in Europe. The Republic of Ireland, an independent country, takes up about five-sixths of the island. Northern Ireland, a separate part, is in the United Kingdom. Over 7 million people live on the island.

Features

The island has low mountains, rivers you can sail on, and a gentle climate because of the Atlantic Ocean. This nation’s longest place name is Muckanaghederdauhaulia. Samhain, a Celtic festival, is the origin of Halloween. No other European country has won the Eurovision Song Contest more times than this Emerald Isle.
