Irelandor

Irelandor is a term used in speculative discourse and fiction to describe a hypothetical political or cultural formation tied to Ireland. It is not an officially recognized state, nor a defined policy platform.

In various alternate-history and utopian scenarios, Irelandor can denote a unified island polity that encompasses the island of Ireland, or more loosely a transnational cultural sphere centered on Irish identity and heritage, including the diaspora. The range of meanings is context-dependent.

In academic and public debates, the term is typically used as an analytic device to examine questions of sovereignty, constitutional design, language policy (notably Irish and English), economic integration, border arrangements, and cross-border cooperation beyond traditional nation-state frameworks.

It also appears in speculative fiction as a setting in which Irelandor develops through peaceful referendums, migrations, or cultural convergence, illustrating how identity and governance might evolve under different historical conditions.

Because Irelandor is not a real entity, no official data or institutions are attached to it. References to Irelandor are therefore interpretive and fictional by design. See also Ireland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Irish diaspora, constitutional law, speculative fiction.
