Northern Ireland is today one of the four countries of the United Kingdom, (although it is also described by official sources as a province or a region) situated in the north-east of the island of Ireland, having been created as a separate legal entity on 3 May 1921, under the Government o Ireland act The new autonomous Northern Ireland was formed from six of the nine counties of Ulster: four counties with unionist majorities, an d Fermanagh and Tyrone, two of the five Ulster counties which had nationalist majorities. In large part unionists, at least in the northeast, supported its creation while nationalists were opposed. Subsequently, on 6 December 1922, the whole island of Ireland became an independent dominion known as the Irish free state but Northern Ireland immediately exercised its right to opt out of the new dominion
