There is no such place as southern Ireland. It is an informal and incorrect term used to distinguish what is called Ireland, Éire or the Republic of Ireland from Northern Ireland. To answer the question you are trying to ask, yes Ireland is an independent country.

What conrty holds southern Ireland?

Southern Ireland is often used incorrectly to refer to the Republic of Ireland and distinguish it from Northern Ireland, so southern Ireland is really just a geographical term, in the same way as you might have southern Canada or southern France or southern Argentina, or the southern part of any country you could mention. Even the term Republic of Ireland is not an official one. The proper name, according to the Irish constitution is Éire or Ireland. So, southern Ireland is in the country that is known as Ireland, which is on the island of Ireland, as is Northern Ireland.


Is Ireland nation state?

There is no country called Southern Ireland. There is the Republic of Ireland with 26 counties and Northern Ireland with 6 counties. Using terms like southern Ireland leaves people with the impression the country is equally divided into a north half and a southern half. Not so. Look at a map: Northern Ireland is more properly 'north-east Ireland'; in fact one county (Donegal) is further north than 'Northern Ireland'. And yes, it is a sovereign nation. Article 5 of the Irish constitution states:"Ireland is a sovereign, independent, democratic state."

Is Southern Island in the UK?

I presume you mean Southern Ireland, not Southern Island. The answer is no. Technically there is no such place as Southern Ireland. It is an incorrect term to distinguish the rest of Ireland from Northern Ireland. It is not an official name and not even geographically accurate. The most northerly point on the island of Ireland, Malin Head, is in what people refer to as "Southern Ireland". According to the Irish Constitution, the official name is Éire, or in English it is Ireland. It is also referred to as the Republic of Ireland, though that is not an official name. It is an independent country and is not part of the United Kingdom.
