Isn't Ireland officially the Republic of Ireland?

@charwood: I was thinking the same thing but apparently it is officially just Ireland. I think 'The Republic of Ireland' is used to differentiate from the island and United Ireland. [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ei.html] Also @AK_WDB: I would suggest using a non-wiki source if you want to be published. CIA World Factbook and the UN website are pretty standard when it comes to geographic quizzes.
