Situated in the northeast of the island of Ireland, it shares a Republic of Ireland-United Kingdom border, border with the Republic of Ireland to the south and west. At the time of the United Kingdom Census 2001, 2001 UK Census, its population was 1,685,000, constituting about 30% of the island's total population and about 3% of the population of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland was Partition of Ireland, created as a distinct Administrative geography of the United Kingdom, division of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, although its constitutional roots lie in the 1800 Act of Union 1800, Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Northern Ireland was for many years the site of a violent and bitter ethno-political conflict — the Troubles — which was caused by divisions between Nationalists (Ireland), Irish nationalists, who are predominantly Roman Catholic, and Unionists (Ireland), unionists, who are predominantly Protestant. Unionists want Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom, while nationalists wish it to be United Ireland, politically reunited with the rest of Ireland. Since the signing of the "Belfast Agreement, Good Friday Agreement" in 1998, most of the paramilitary groups involved in the Troubles have ceased their armed campaigns.
