Nation: The People's Republic of Liberated New Ireland (PRLNI)
1) Geography
Location: PRLNI is located at the city of Limerick (52.6652° N 8.6238° W) and its territory spreads some 3,000 square kilometers beyond the city limits (However, this area is contested). With no reliable access to the coastline, it can be considered landlocked.
Terrain: The terrain of PRLNI is dominated by flat grasslands, dotted with hills and ridges. The country is ringed by mountains: The Slieve Felims, The Galtees (Na Gaibhlte), the Ballyhouras, and the Mullaghareirk Mountains. The land is mostly used for subsistence farming.
Climate: The climate of PRLNI is temperate, with temperatures ranging from 4-7 degrees Celsius in winter, to 14-16 degrees in summer, and rainful averaging 140 cm of rainfall annually.
2) Economy
Despite the fact that on paper, the economic system of PRLNI looks excellent(GDP of over 50 trillion USD), the economy is in shambles. The majority of its citizens are below the poverty line, with most of the GDP being produced by outside companies (mostly soda companies and manufacturers for retail stores), who use PRLNI for its cheap labor. Half of the work force (45% of the population) works in these factories. The other half is comprised of subsistence farmers. A huge portion of the population (nearly 50%) serves in the poorly paid "volunteer" army.

3) History
Early Years
PRLNI formed during the bloody Irish Civil War of 2013, when General Sean O'Connor, leading the Third Division, seized control of County Limerick from the Separatist army on the orders of the Oireachtas. Tired of the senseless bloodshed of the previous few months, he declared County Limerick to be its own state, and severed ties with the Oireachtas. Over the next two years, while his former country tore itself apart, he formed a new, libertarian, government.Two years later, when an overwhelming force of two million Unionist soldiers attacked, he fended them off with the Third Division, and some 1.5 million peasant soldiers during the Battle of Kilteely-Dromkeen. The involvement of the peasant soldiers was the basis of the modern Kern "volunteer" fighters.
Present
To date, much of the 3,000 sq. kilometers that PRLNI lays claim to are still contested by various armies. However, the military has managed to secure an area that contains 16 million PRLNI citizens.
