Ireland is a small island country located in northwestern Europe with an area of around 70,000 square miles. It has a central flat area surrounded by rugged coastal hills, with elevations ranging from sea level up to 1,041 meters. While English is the official language, Gaelic languages are still spoken in western coastal regions. Catholicism is the dominant religion, making up 87% of the population, with other faiths and atheism comprising the remainder. Traditional Irish culture incorporates foods like potatoes, meat and dairy, but diets have modernized with influences from the US and Asia. Sports like Gaelic football and rugby are very popular in Ireland.
