Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom in
the north-east of the island of Ireland. It is variously
described as a country, province or region of the UK,
amongst other terms.
The region that is now Northern Ireland was the
bedrock of the Irish war of
resistance against English programmes of
colonialism in the late 16th century.
During the 19th century, legal
reforms started in the late 18th century
removed statutory discrimination against
Catholics and progressive programmes
enabled tenant farmers to buy land from
landlords.
Economy
The Northern Ireland economy is the smallest of
the four economies making up the United
Kingdom. Northern Ireland has traditionally had
an industrial economy, most notably in
shipbuilding, rope manufacture and textiles.
Transport
Northern Ireland is served by three airports.
Major sea ports at Larne and Belfast carry
passengers and freight between Great Britain
and Northern Ireland.
Since 1998, Northern Ireland has devolved government
within the United Kingdom. The UK Government and UK
Parliament are responsible for reserved and excepted
matters. Reserved matters are a list of policy area.
Northern Ireland was covered by an ice
sheet for most of the last ice age and on
numerous previous occasions.
Northern Ireland consists of six historic counties: County
Antrim, County Armagh, County Down, County
Fermanagh, County Londonderry, County Tyrone.
English is spoken as a first language by almost
all of the Northern Ireland population. It is
the de facto official language.
Culture
With its improved international reputation, Northern
Ireland has recently witnessed rising numbers of
tourists. Attractions include cultural festivals,
musical and artistic traditions.
Education
Unlike most areas of the United Kingdom, in the last year of
primary school many children sit entrance examinations
for grammar schools.
The two main universities in Northern Ireland are The Queen's
University of Belfast, and the University of Ulster.
