'''New Ulster''' (Ulsterish: ''Ulaidh Nua'' (IPA: /əlˠə nˠuə/'') [uh-luh NOO-uh]''), officially the '''Republic of New Ulster''' (Ulsterish: ''Poblacht na hUladh Nua''), is a country located in the [[Orbitra/Western Ocean|Western Ocean]] on [[Orbitra/Lenara Island|Lenara Island]]. It consists of the southeastern portion of the island, and borders the country of [[Orbitra/Lenara|Lenara]] to the north and [[Orbitra/Lignareix|Lignareix]] to the west. New Ulster is about 2,500 kilometres (1,500 mi) north of Antarctica and 4,500 kilometres (2,500 mi) west-southwest of Impala Island. The Nuach Mountains dominate the nation's topography as the primary mountain range and owe their existence to volcanic and tectonic activity. Located coastally on the slopes of the range, the capital city, Calford, is the main center of economic activity in the country. |

For most of human history, the regions which now constitute New Ulster were uninhabited. Even when early Lenaran peoples had one of the most advanced societies for its time on the northern shores of the island, carbon dating suggests modern-day New Ulster was practically untouched. The oldest confirmed remains within modern borders date to around 500 AD, when Lenaran settlements had already been well established on the [[Impala Islands|Impalan]] mainland and a variety of other islands. Through written and oral folklore, historians suggest indigenous Lenarans avoided settlement in these regions out of fear, with traditional songs telling of shipwrecks along the southeastern coasts of the island and lives lost from brutal winters in the mountains. Even when significant settlement did occur around 1200 AD, it was limited to the northeastern coast, near modern-day [[Tory]], where the most temperate climate can be found. |
|||
At the Lincoln Empire's arrival in 1688, the Lipis region, which included areas around and north of Tory as well as far southeast Lenara, had a native population of at least 8,000. However, due to the 1720 Partition Plan, devised by Viceroy James Partridge, a large forced migration and ethnic removal took place, effectively eliminating all Lenaran settlement south of New Ulster's northern border. The Partition Plan aimed to remove and resettle ethnic Ulster people from [[Cullham]] into the then-named Southern Colony (modern-day New Ulster), and, in the eyes of the monarchy at the time, any Lenarans remaining in this territory would hinder the plans for such resettlement. |
|||
In September of 1724, in an attempt to establish Lincoln Empire settlements on the island for low cost to the financially-troubled empire, as well as to remove the first of the unwanted Ulster people from Cullham, a voyage of 2500 men, women, and children set sail from May Port on six ships, which were formerly used for transporting slaves. Known as ''The First Migration,'' this initial wave of forced migration spelled the largest loss of life by any measure. In addition to the subhuman conditions of the close-quartered ships during the transport of Ulster people, the situation wasn't much better when they arrived. In December of the same year, the five remaining ships arrived in present-day Calford Bay to find a dense, pristine temperate rainforest, one that extends along the entire eastern coast of the island. This natural beauty also meant settlement was tough, and of the merely two-thirds that survived the voyage, a fourth of those remaining would perish before any real settlement was established. |
|||
''The Second Migration'' was a more long-term endeavor, which consisted of 24 voyages, the first in 1726 and the last in 1817. This period of migration was the largest, with a total estimated 126,000 relocated―a majority of the Ulster population that was remaining in Cullham. This Southern Colony, along with the Northern Colony (present-day Lenara), were economic powerhouses for the empire by the turn of the 19th century. On the southern side, forced or dirt-cheap labor in mines, fisheries, agriculture, and forestry provided many raw materials for the growing empire, while the northern side produced many labor-intensive cash crops such as sugarcane and oil palms, using the native Lenarans for labor. The last period of migration, ''The Third Migration,'' was a voluntary pilgrimage of Ulster people worldwide, but mainly those remaining in Cullham, to the Southern Colony, and later New Ulster, to avoid religious and ethnic persecution. It started in 1817 and continues to this day. |

New Ulster (Ulsterish: Ulaidh Nua (IPA: /əlˠə nˠuə/) [uh-luh NOO-uh]), officially the Republic of New Ulster (Ulsterish: Poblacht na hUladh Nua), is a country located in the Western Ocean on Lenara Island. It consists of the southeastern portion of the island, and borders the country of Lenara to the north and Lignareix to the west. New Ulster is about 2,500 kilometres (1,500 mi) north of Antarctica and 4,500 kilometres (2,500 mi) west-southwest of Impala Island. The Nuach Mountains dominate the nation's topography as the primary mountain range and owe their existence to volcanic and tectonic activity. Located coastally on the slopes of the range, the capital city, Calford, is the main center of economic activity in the country.

Geography
Geography summary here
Claimed by the government but not officially recognized by the majority of USN members, the New Ulster Antarctic Province consists of portions of the Antarctic continent between longitudes 74°30'W and 26°W. There are a number of bases and research stations in the territory, including the settlement of Toraigh Nua (New Tory), which has around 100 permanent residents.
Climate
The climate of New Ulster is largely oceanic in the east and southwest, semi-arid in the northwest, and continental in central and southeastern regions. Mountainous areas largely experience tundra or subarctic climates. On the east coast, average temperatures range from 9 °C (48 °F) in Southfort to 14 °C (58 °F) in Tory. The wettest part of the country is in the northeast, east of the Tory Cliffs, centered around the town itself. The driest is west of the mountains around Reeballagh. Snow is common in the mountainous regions of the country, as well as in the south and northwest. Although coastal areas north of Calford rarely experience snowfall, it is possible for light snow to fall between May and August.

Transport
Main article: Transport in New Ulster
Being a relatively small country, the transport infrastructure of New Ulster is limited, but the systems that do exist are generally well-funded and operated. The country's roadways and signs are maintained to the Caighdeán Bóithre Uladh Nua, the national standard for road transport devices. Road traffic is on the right in New Ulster, following a switch in the 1920s with attempts to distance itself from the rule and traditions of the Lincoln Empire. In rail transport, a passenger rail line has operated between Tory, Calford and Southfort since the 1950s, and as of a 2007 realignment and upgrade it has been electrified and has operated at speeds of up to 150 km/h. Calford-Thomas de Bhaldraithe International Airport (Ulsterish: Aerfort Idirnáisiúnta Calafort-Tomás de Bhaldraithe) is the main airport and only international airport in the country, and serves virtually the entire population. The airport frequently services flights to Kuala Pasir, Jayakang, and Kitoyo, as well as other domestic and international locations.
