Ulaid

Ulaid is a peaceful town loosely encompassing the ancient kingdom of Dál Riáta.

Spread over counties Antrim, Armagh, and Down, the Scottish Islands, and Mann, Ulaid exists to further the interests of the Gaelic-speaking peoples of MCAtlas.

Ulaid is officially Irish-speaking, with a Manx minority, and services available for English speakers on request.

History
Founded on 5th December 2019 by Taoiseach conchr as Droim Mór.

Ulaid has expanded from humble beginnings on the shores of Lough Neagh, to a reasonable township. Now laying claim to three Gaelic-speaking regions: Ulster, Scotland, and Mann.

Formerly a member of the Iberian Empire, (then the Spanish Empire, Europa, The Roman Empire, as KittyT changed names nearly daily), and finally regaining independence when Europa began its dissolution.

On 9th January 2020, Ulaid joined likeminded towns in Scandinavia, to become the first Irish contingent of the Scandinavian nation.

Ulaid remained, even as Scandinavia merged with the Fourth Roman Empire, forming part of the province of Hibernia, alongside Nero's Galway.

In late January 2020, Ulaid gained its third resident: ZaccMcG.

As the merge function was re-established, the Fourth Roman Empire merged with Poland, to become Eurasia.

With their eyes on Derry, conchr proved too slow for Shamrock, and lost Derry to Nero.

Religion
Ulaid is home to the only Presbyterian church on MCAtlas.

Construction of the Mother Kirk is ongoing.

Additionally, an independent Church of Man exists on the Isle of Man. The church's application to the Congregational Union is seeking approval.

Industry
Ulaid is home to a small mixed-vegetable farm and equally modest animal enclosures.

In the north of the town, there is a functioning turtle farm.
