Ireland
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
Ireland (or Eire) was a nation-state on Earth, comprising of the island of Ireland. Great Britain first invaded the island in the 12th century, and held dominion over it for centuries, often marked by rebellion. In 1922, the island was divided, creating the Irish Free State (which became the Republic of Ireland in 1949), and Northern Ireland, which remained part of the United Kingdom.
Decades of strife and terrorist activity followed, with the goal of bring about a united Ireland. Reunification finally came about in 2024. (TNG episode: "The High Ground")
Irish culture flourished and spread, as evidenced by the annual Irish Harp Festival (TOS novel: Enterprise: The First Adventure). Ireland is also the home of Irish whiskey (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")
The capital of Ireland is Dublin.
