Ireland is divided into the Republic of Ireland, which covers five-sixths of the island and Northern Ireland which is a part of the United Kingdom and which covers the remaining area located in the north east of the island. Ireland is made up of relatively low lying mountains surrounding a central plain with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island’s lush vegetation, a product of its mild climate and frequent rainfall, earns it the name the Emerald Isle.
