Found a funny little piece on the BBC, called 32 County Paisley.

Having had a serious political career as a hardline politician, then adopting a more moderate stance, it seems Ian Paisley is using his semi-retirement to have some lulz with a bit of RL trolling.

'Tis top trolling, a ridiculous idea with just enough seriousness to get it taken seriously at first, before he notes that "another king did that at a certain famous watering place that I will not mention here today" (lmao), then compares himself to Jesus. What a guy.

But the issue of the changeing borders and the relationships of the states in the British Isles is a relevant. I remember something similar was discussed a while ago with Beskar's Viking Invasion map with the fortified parliament on the Isle of Man, and there are more confederal solutions for how things could work, as opposed to having strictly centralised states based in London/Dublin.

Ireland could be incorporated into a conferal arrangment retaining some powers at Dublin, but it's probably not going to happen, even if they need bailing out. But it might look more feasible with the rising nationalist movements in Scotland/Wales. There could be an arrangement similar to that seen in Spain.

Or maybe the regions of the UK will break of completely. Or maybe Northern Ireland could be incorporated into Ireland, given the declining unionist majority. Or maybe there could be a confederal Ireland, with Munster/Leinster/Connaught/Ulster, or maybe just reserve some power in Belfast from Dublin.

There are many possible solutions, but what is best?
