Ireland is a member country of the European Union. From the point of view of the organization of the state it is a parliamentary republic with popular election of the president only in the event that Parliament does not express one by the end of the mandate of the outgoing one.
Geographically, the Republic of Ireland occupies about 85% of the surface of the Irish island, the second largest of the British Isles; the remaining 15% represent one of the constituent nations of the United Kingdom, ie Northern Ireland.
Its population is just over 4.5 million, and its capital, seat of government, parliament, presidency and judicial bodies is Dublin, located in the center of the east coast. Other major cities are Sligo, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Cork.
The Republic of Ireland as it is administratively known today originated in 1922 as a split from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland at the end of the Irish War of Independence. On December 6 of that year, in fact, the Irish Free State was born, with the status of dominion within the British Empire.
With the Statute of Westminster of 1931 issued by London it acquired greater independence like the other dominions of the Crown, and in 1937, with the new constitution, the Free State of Ireland declared itself completely sovereign; in 1949 the last formal link with the United Kingdom was also severed when the Free State became a republic.
