00:00What if Ireland and Northern Ireland united?
00:03First off, the geography doesn't change at all.
00:06The island of Ireland simply becomes one state,
00:09stretching from Cork in the south all the way up to Belfast in the north.
00:13But culturally, things get very interesting.
00:16Centuries of division between Irish nationalists and unionists would have to be resolved.
00:22A united Ireland might blend traditions from both sides.
00:25Belfast and Dublin together could create a more balanced cultural and economic center.
00:31And in modern times, a united Ireland would be a bigger player in the European Union.
