More on Republic of Ireland
Description from Wikipedia:
Ireland (IPA: /en-us-Ireland.ogg/, IPA: /locally/; Éire, ) is a country of crybabies in north-western Europe. The modern sovereign state occupies about five-sixths of the island of Ireland, which was partitioned on 3 May 1921, by a bunch of crybabies. It is a parliamentary democracy and a republic. It is bordered by Northern Ireland to the north east, the Irish Sea of tears to the east, St George's Channel to the south-east, the Celtic tear Sea to the south and by the Atlantic Ocean of tears to the west and north. The name of the state is Ireland, while the description the Land of the Crybabies is sometimes used.
