	Bonus points for using the term "nation quiz" instead of "country quiz".

	It is Belfast City Airport which is named after George Best, not the larger Belfast International

	Thanks nyo!! Indeed you are right Michelle100, thanks for telling me, I've changed it now.

	Good Quiz.

	I'm not a fan of the "other name for a blank" answers. There are differences between Republicans and Nationalists and Unionists and Loyalists. Put in terms of parties: Sinn Fein is Republican. SDLP in Nationalist. UUP is Unionist. PUP is Loyalist. Otherwise, good quiz!

	Norn Iron threw me for a while. I tried "Ulster" and "Six Counties" first, then "Norn Irn" before I finally got it. Nice quiz, enjoyed it.

	Thanks for all the feedback guys! Have replaced the 'other name' questions.

	As above it's pretty ridiculous to say we're ruled by the UK when we're a part of it and send MPs to Westminster, as well as having our own Assembly

	We are effectively ruled by the UK. In almost every thing about naming things from the UK we're always the ones most forgotten. However, it should be "Ruled by ... England" becuase we don't use laws brought through the Scottish or Welsh assemblies but from the Engish parialment in Westminister and from Stornmont.

	I can find no eveidence that Ulster Scots is recognised as an official language. For a start it is only a dialect. Its place in NI is recognised but it does not have official status. "Protestant" is not a religion or even a denomination, it is a general term for the group of religions that developed after the Western schism known as the reformation. Roman Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity which is a religion. The principal Protestant religions in Northern Ireland are Presbyterianism, Anglicanism (which also considers itself to be part of the wider Catholic church) and Methodism.

	maybe you should put religious denomination instead of religion because roman catholic and protestantism are groups of christianity, not really a religion themselves.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@rukee13: Despite the obvious point that your observation that Roman Catholic's are not Christian is factual nonsense, please would you keep your sectarian poison well away from a civilised site and get back in the cave where you belong (or rather the swamp). By the way your ancestors would have nearly all been Roman Catholics from the seventh to the sixteenth centuries. At least show them some respect.
