Answer 1

Let's see:

Ireland is an island nation (about the size of West Virginia)

US is more than 1/3 of the North American continent.

Ireland has 4 million people.

they are completely different countries. they have different currency (Ireland has euro and England has English sterling), Ireland has a different government.

although the northernmost part of the island of Ireland is called northern Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom which is made up of England, Scotland Wales and northern Ireland and they have their own government.

Answer 3

Ireland can refer to the whole island of Ireland which includes the republic of Ireland and the smaller Northern Ireland. It can also refer just to the republic of Ireland by itself. Northern Ireland is part of the UK (the UK's full title is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

Ireland (or Éire) is an independent, democratic republic.

Many people use the name 'UK' to refer to the island of Great Britain which causes confusion when Northern Ireland and Ireland are brought into the equation.
