General Information[]
Ireland, at its start, is a Catholic Irish feudal monarchy located in the Munster, Connacht, Leinster and Ulster areas, Britain region of the Western Europe subcontinent. The monarchy is formed by Catholic Munster in January 1, 1002, gaining cores, bordering fellow Catholic Isles, Ulster, Tyrone and Connacht north.
Ireland's initial existence will be quickly ended by April 23, 1014 breaking apart into many Irish kingdoms losing its cores. Gaining cores back by June 7, 1642, Ireland breaks from control from Secular Great Britain on January 21, 1919 existing on-map to the current day.
In 1973 Ireland joins the European Union.

Strategy[]
Present Day[]
For this strategy to work, either the British or the Irish must leave the EU, or alternatively declaring war on a non-EU British ally also works too.
As Ireland, your economy, manpower, and size are below mediocre. If you want to gain a little more land for very little AE, use the "Imperialism" CB on Iceland and annex the island nation. However, to really kick-start your country, you need not look further than to your neighbor: Great Britain
Ending British Rule[]
Ally yourself with Great Britain's enemies. Your initial goal is to remove the British from Ireland. Save up ducats in order to build as many galleys as you can, you will be using these galleys to fight within seas (not oceans), and to block the straight going from Ulster to Ayrshire.
Declaring the War[]
Fabricate claims on all possible territory you can get within range. If Britain gets locked into a mainland European war and begins to lose its strength, that is the time to declare your war. With the right timing and allies, you should be able to take all of Northern Ireland and some the west coast of Britain.
The Conquest of Britain[]
Once your truce with Great Britain runs out, they are likely to build up and declare war for their cores. Have even more claims fabricated this time, and declare the war ASAP once the peace treaty expires. Keep on fighting until you have control over all the British Isles free from any British control.
