I'd vote and campaign against a United Ireland if that was going to be the anthem.

Those who want a United Ireland, how far would you be willing to go to make sure all felt inclusive.

Would you change the national anthem?
Change the flag?

What else would you do?

Before someone comes back and says our flag already recognises all parts of the Ireland, maybe it does but people very well know that some people up north would still be uncomfortable with it.
Symbolic new capital city? Something like Brazilia or Canberra?
Athlone! The centre of a new a new island. Clap
 
If Dublin is loosing out on it's capital status then I don't think you could look past Tulsk to take over.

We should put our capital on Tory Island in Donegal. For no other reason that to be awkward, tourists wanting to visit Ireland's capital will have to share a ferry with farm animals.

And we could become a monarchy with the King of Tory becoming King of Ireland. That should reassure unionists!

The now deceased King of Tory stayed in my gaff before. I see that no one has taken up the throne since he died in 2018. He never actually said the words but I could tell that he wanted me to be his heir. 
I didn’t ask for this but some have greatness thrust upon them and I’m prepared to be the King that you need. As my first act as Sovereign ruler of YBIG, I hereby decree that an ignore button will be instated. 

That is all.

Northern Loyalland is an unrecognized country similar to the likes of Abkhazia, Transnistria, the Sahrawi. It broke away from New Ireland in 2030 after declaring unofficial independence. It swears unconditional loyalty to the Union of England and Wales.  Leader  of the political wing of the UVF/UDA/UFF alliance, Jamie Bryson demands recognition from the UN.

A map of the unofficial border can be seen below

I have actually thought about that before  why not bring the majority nationalist regions into the Republic and draw the border more North East where there is a majority of unionists are based. One time financially supported migration of people from once side to the other if they want it.

Yeah to be fair, Northern Loyalland is getting pretty much every tourist site. Most of Ulster hurling too. I wouldn't pay much for the dud half of the deal
