Northern Ireland ( Irish Tuaisceart Éireann, Ulster Scots Norlin Airlann) is a constituent country within the United Kingdom, lying in the northeast of Ireland, covering 5,459&_160;square miles (14,139&_160;km²), about a sixth of the island's total area. [1] It shares a border with the Republic of Ireland to the south and west. At the time of the UK Census in April 2001, its population was 1,685,000, constituting between a quarter and a third of the island's total population and about 3% of the population of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland consists of six of the nine counties of the historic Irish province of Ulster. In the UK, it is generally known as one of the four Home Nations that form the Kingdom. Northern Ireland was established as a distinct administrative region of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920.[2] For over 50 years it was the only part of the UK to have its own form of devolved government until it was suspended in 1972.[3] Northern Ireland's current devolved government bodies, the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive were established in 1998 but were suspended several times. They were restored on 8 May 2007.[4][5] Northern Ireland's legal system descends from the pre-1921 Irish legal system (as does the legal system of the Republic of Ireland). It is based on common law. Northern Ireland is a distinct jurisdiction, separate from England and Wales and Scotland.[6] Northern Ireland was for many years the site of a violent and bitter ethno-political conflict between those claiming to represent Nationalists, who are predominantly Roman Catholic, and those claiming to represent Unionists, who are predominantly Protestant.[7] In general, Nationalists want the reunification of Ireland, with Northern Ireland joining the rest of Ireland[8][9] and Unionists want it to remain part of the United Kingdom.[10] Protestants are in the majority in Northern Ireland, though Roman Catholics represent a significant minority.[11] In general, Protestants consider themselves British and Catholics see themselves as Irish but there are some who see themselves as both British and Irish. People from Northern Ireland are entitled to both British and Irish citizenship (see Citizenship and identity). The campaigns of violence have become known popularly as The Troubles. The majority of both sides of the community have had no direct involvement in the violent campaigns waged. Since the signing of the Belfast Agreement (also known as the Good Friday Agreement or the G.F.A.) in 1998, many of the major paramilitary campaigns have either been on ceasefire or have declared their war to be over. The area now known as Northern Ireland has had a diverse history. From serving as the bedrock of Irish resistance in the era of the plantations of Queen Elizabeth and James I in other parts of Ireland, it became the subject of major planting of Scottish and English settlers after the Flight of the Earls in 1607 (when the Gaelic aristocracy fled to Catholic Europe).
