I just want to gauge general knowledge about Ireland in a forum where there is predominant interest in Irish music.

Could you please answer the poll based on your current state of understanding.
Please don't research before you do.
This is intended to be snapshot and so the poll will finish in 3 days.
I would appreciate if there were not to be any factual content in discussions about the subject matter until after the poll is finished.

I answered, then I researched.
And thus have I learned.

Without looking, I thought that Ulster was an Irish province within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

When I said "not to be any factual content" I meant not only expressly but also impliedly.

I'll see that and raise you Donegal, Cavan, plus Sligo, Leitrim, and Limmerick. So I'm guessing it's not in Pennsylvania either?

I could raise you a Veracruz, Guanajuato, and Queretaro from the other side of my family. But something tells me that wouldn't help my cause.

Ahem, my family is from, variously, Aberdeen, Cornwall, and heaven only knows where else, but I found the phrasing of the response options to be leading anyway.
