        No, Ireland is excluded and would want to be. Northern Ireland, is included as part of the UK.

        Unless op meant northern Ireland would be upset? In which case they would probably be more annoyed at not being recognised as a country or entity themselves. Sure, some don’t want to be part of the UK, but they recognise the reality that they currently are and their country is called Northern Ireland. This map recognises that and seems inoffensive to Ireland (Republic of Ireland).

      Oh, for sure, but for a moment, there was certainly a lot of trouble deciding who Northern Ireland belonged to.

      I’d wager there are still plenty of people there who’d secretly still love to see a united Ireland. Is that opinion popular? I dunno. I don’t live there.

      But hey, Kinky Boots is a fun song.
