A bit about us

Holidia is an independent nation situated in the north-east of the island of Ireland. It shares a border with the Republic of Ireland to the south. At the time of the 2009 Census, its population was 3,424,833, constituting between a third and a half of the island's total population.
Holidia consists of eight of the traditional nine counties of the historic Irish province of Ulster. It was granted sovereignty from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, though its constitutional roots lie in the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and the Act of Union 1800 between Great Britain and Ireland and over 50 years previous to independence it had its own devolved government and parliament as a sub-division of the United Kingdom (under the name of Northern Ireland); Although, these institutions were dissolved many times during the troubles.
Holidia was for many years the site of a violent and bitter ethno-political conflict ("The Troubles") between those claiming to represent Nationalists, who are predominantly Roman Catholic, and those claiming to represent Unionists, who are predominantly Protestant. Unionists wanted Northern Ireland (Holidia) to remain part of the United Kingdom, while nationalists wished it to be politically united with the rest of Ireland. Since the signing of the "Good Friday Agreement" in 1998, most of the paramilitary groups involved in the Troubles have ceased their armed campaigns.

Leap, Comeil and Leenon Isles, Holidian Ezran Territory and Columbcille each has its own government or Executive, led by a Lead Minister, and a devolved, legislature. Rathlin, whilst a separate administrative region from Mainland Holidia has no devolved executive or legislature and is administered and legislated for directly by the Holidian government on all issues (the Holidian Assembly, is in fact, located on Rathlin).

Holidia has benefited greatly from membership of the COFR, technology has developed rapidly thanks to expertise from other more developed memebr nations, it has a excellent space program and is revving it's dying manufacturing industry despite most of its economy (70%) being based around services and Hospitality/Tourism.
