Verse:Irta/Ireland

In Irta, Ireland grew into a major European power by the 9th century, controlling all of the British Isles and stretching as far as our __. The Irish empire was bordered by an Old French-speaking region to the southeast, which was in turn bordered by Hivantish tribal lands in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

During the 16th century, the two Remonitions occurred and Ireland lost all of its mainland territory in the ensuing religious wars. Ireland could still become a colonial power, explaining the presence of Irish in the Americas and Polynesia.
