Is Ireland considered an island nation?

Question

The republic is a seperate country to Northern Ireland. Rich list said it was an island nation.

Answer 1

You have asked a very good question but the answer can only be no. Ireland is an island country but not an island nation in order to be a nation it would need to have the same government and the ethnic mix to agree they are the same. This is of course a problem as they have been fighting for hundreds of years saying that they are not the same.

Good luck

Ulster

Answer 3

yea thats true the south is the republic and the north is under british rule.

Answer 4

Ireland is not an island nation, it is an island state. An island nation is an island that is within the political borders of a country, therefore because Ireland is a divided country, i.e the south is controlled by the Irish Gov. and the North by the British Gov. and so it cannot be called a island nation. The rich list better brush up on their political sources, because its just not right.

Answer 5

Answer 6

yes. its an island nation... Just as the Rich List said.
