Northern Ireland is one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. It is located in the northeast of the island of Ireland and is the only part of the UK with a land border (which is with the Republic of Ireland).

It is made up of six of the 32 historical counties of Ireland: Antrim, Londonderry, Down, Armagh, Fermanagh and Tyrone.

Its largest (and capital) city is Belfast; its second largest is Londonderry, which is also sometimes referred to as "Derry" by the nationalist community.

Northern Ireland was the site of "The Troubles", a "violent and bitter" period of ethno-political conflict cause by opposition between unionists, who want the area to remain in the UK, and nationalists, who want the area to join with the Republic of Ireland. The Troubles are widely considered to have ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
