Voting
The Republic States of Èireann has a standard election process for its presidents and hands, however there are no set limitations for how long a term lasts. The citizens of Èireann sees it unnecessary to have a periodic amount of elections, therefore, elections can happen when certain conditions are met.

These conditions are, but no limited to:


 * Whenever there is an interest in holding an election(for various reasons)
 * Whenever a president/hand decides to step down

Before any voting begins, nominations are held, for both the presidents and hands(though presidents are typically elected first, before the nomination of hands.) Those nominated then become the candidates that will participate in the election, albeit any nominee has the choice to decline. If there are more than 1 accepting nominees, the elections proceed to the giving of speeches, subsequently followed by the voting. If there is only one accepting nominee and no opposition, they then become the default winner.

Written and passed by President Ezio, this brought about changes to Èireann's current form.

 * Article II - Qualifications for Statehood: Details the needed requirements in order for a region within Èireann's official territories to become it's own state.

 * Article III - Qualifications for Governor: Lists down the needed requirements for a citizen of a state to become it's governor. The governor will be the highest authority figure within the state and shall oversee the state's development. The standard is once more high, this is to ensure that the person running is committed and experienced.

 * The map of Èireann was updated to show the borders of each state.
 * States have begun to name geographical regions in order to create a more detailed map.

Mainland
It is situated west of spawn, with only being 500 blocks from spawn's border. Èireann's landmass is 3rd in size being smaller than Stregabor and Dalvasha and larger than Ambria and Asbahamael. It doesn't directly border any foreign kingdoms, this allows Èireann to expand as much as it can west and southwards. The closest kingdom to Èireann would be Stregabor to the northeast. Èireann features one landlocked sea and another inland sea which leads to a small strait leading to the greater ocean, with rivers running from them and traversing across the republic.

Due to it's small size, Èireann has a low biome diversity, having no Jungles, Tundra, or Mesas. The climate of the country can be divided across the middle, with the majority of East Èireann being dry and arid, while West Èireann receives more precipitation as it features most of the country's plains.

Outer Territories
Èireann has claims in the southern ocean, with one of the major territories being the Mushroom Island.

Other territories in the southern include the Emerald Colony and creeper farm.

Èireann also has it's own End Portal, it is located under the Withered Desert, the area where many Cadarnleans have gone to slay the wither.

The state of Ishtar will also claim territories far from Èireann and found new colonies in the near future.

States
Èireann has a total of 5 states, although only 4 are officially recognized and given the "state status", this is because Neverland(Site-27) serves a research facility under Burak and his Foundation.

Falias
It serves as the current capital of Èireann. Valkyrinvictus founded this town as Èireann's first town. It is situated off the southeastern coast of the Falias Sea. It is home to many of the original builds by the old members of Èireann.

Carthage
Directed by Portal since its founding, Carthage serves as the capital of all Ishtar lands with an expanse along the coasts of the Carthaginian Sea.



Cadarnle
Founded and governed by Ezio, this state's capital city, Cadarnle City was founded during President Portal's presidency. Cadarnle City is the city state capital of the region, home to the first few buildings built there. It was born from an abandoned village and quickly grew to become one of Èireann's most active regions. This state is the home of Crann Draoid, a magical tree that emits magic to the nature around it.

Races
The Republic States of Èireann has a long history of having the presence of non-human sentient life forms. The nation is home to many both legal and illegal denizens that are not human. Many of Èireann's southern lands used to be the home of forgotten races from the dawn of time. The region of Cadarnle once was the capital of an Elven Kingdom now lost to time.

Human
The predominant species of Everthorn, although many are not considered to be Everthornian as many have come from out of this world. Nothing special, yet ever so extraordinary, this species is capable of great feats of ingenuity that rivals that of the Elves.

Villager
A species of dependent and defenseless humanoid species. They are notable for their big noses and inseparable arms. Being master merchants and artisans, they offer a varying amount of goods that the people of Èireann trade for. Villagers are also often noted to be enslaved and confined, forced to work all their lives.

Elf
Only one known living elf dwells in Èireann in the present day, that elf being Cadarnle's local wizard. The elves used to be the predominant race in southern Èireann during the ancient times, now, little remains of their legacy save for the relics and ruins scattered throughout the Cadarnle and Meadannic regions. They were known to be excellent sorcerers and followers of the arcane and unlike humans, all elves posses the ability to perform magic.

Goblin
An ugly and uncivilized group of barbaric tribes. Somehow escaping the Wildelands and crossing the southern border, these pests have made tiny camps by the road sides. They often ambush caravans and lost travelers on the Meadannic Road. It is unknown how many goblin camps that are present in Èireann.
