    Ireland has a population of over 4.7 million people and is divided into 4 provinces and 32 counties, with 26 counties forming the Republic of Ireland and 6 counties forming Northern Ireland. Dublin is the capital city with over 1.3 million residents, located along the River Liffey and established in 841 AD by Vikings. The Irish flag was created in 1848 with orange, green, and white representing the Protestant minority, Irish nationalism, and peace between the two respectively. While Irish is the official first language, English is more commonly spoken today, though Irish remains mandatory in schools. The earliest writing system in Ireland was Ogham script dating back to the 4th century AD, composed of strokes along a line representing its 20 letters.
