Natural Resources: Natural gas, petroleum, peat, copper,  lead, dolomite, barite, limestone, gypsum, silver and some zinc. Key industries based on these and other natural resources include fishing, forestry, mining, livestock, and other forms of agriculture and fish farming.

Special Places:
  Tynagh Mines: Concentrates of Lead and Zinc
  Silvermines: Concentrates of Silver
  Corrib gas project: Concentrates of natural gas (30 billion cubic metres)

Note: The Republic of Ireland includes Northern Ireland

The list of natural recourses is a bit too modern. The Corrib gas field was only discovered in 1996, and it is off shore.
Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 is a good guideline on natural recourses.

Why Republic?
Why not a Kingdom? Yarldom? Archtyrrany? Dominate?

Green:  Getting it???
Haven't you forgotten it?

It is based on the philosophy that too much power in one place, in the event of corruption, would lead to drastic results.

Certainly, in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's power is limited, but nevertheless one mind can make errors in judgement, many minds can correct each other.

The Republic of Ireland is a Meritocracy, positions are appointed by shown talent and ability, leading to generally capable leaders

But no matter the systems, in the end it is someone who will have to make a decision. Even an absolute ruler have advisors, aides, minister and friends who will help her/him with the decisions.

A bad ruler gets the chop ...

In a republic, the group makes a decision. In a monarchy, even though the Monarch has many aides and adviosrs to help him, it is, in the end, the monarch who makes the decision.

@Borys
Yes, a bad ruler gets the chop, however he only gets the chop if he messes up pretty badly (Or its a revolution). Its pretty hard to chop a ruler unless his guards hate him too. If the peasants fight back to chop the ruler, it causes chaos and bloodshed. Also after a revolt, the new government tends to not be a monarchy (there are cases of monarchy taken over by a monarchy)

Ok, I bite.
Neither republic nor Monarchy say anything about how the power of decision is distributed in the state in question. In Sweden today, the Monarch have zero formal power for example. While examples of republics can be states such as the Soviet Union under Stalin, Chile under Pinochet or North Korea today.

I get the impression that what you are talking about is autocracy vs. democracy, rather then republic vs. monarchy.

[Logi]

Ok, I admit that, but Ireland is a Republic  :P

About the technos...

We are in dec 1912 begin 1913.

For a new Player, IMO, I think that he could start 6 to 7 years early

That mean that Logi had all 1905- 1906 technos.

Ireland has extremely little capacity to research - or even to digest other people's research.  I don't think there's an option to push everything along - he'd have to be selective.

[Jefgte]

We could give some technos for welcome present.
  :D  :D  :D

(present janv 1913- active janv 1914)

Nope, economical pressure stopped research for military purposes.

Or one note that the tech that was marked green was removed and four tech were marked red instead...

[Sachmle]

Any chance of a listing of available Irish slips, drydocks, and ports? Seems no one ever got around to that. I also wonder which Ballycastle, though I presume the one in Contae Mhaigh Eo. But why there instead of Galway or even Cork?
