Ireland, Ascend!

Ireland, Ascend!

The story of an Empire

"And thus, from across the Irish Sea, a cry rises amongst the people of Ireland for land, for freedom, for bread. In Gaelic tongue, these people cry, to what avail? Ireland shall rise from the sea, Ireland shall rise from oblivion, Ireland shall master the ways of the world. Hear me, Ireland! Hear me! Ireland, Awake!" -Daniel O'Connell, first Prime Minister of Ireland, 1835

"And what have we Irish accomplished in the three score fifteen years of our existence? More than thought possible! More than thought probable! More than our wildest escapades into the realm of the human mind! The birth of the real Irish Nation, of the Irish Empire, of the Irish Century has occurred today. I have little doubt of that statement, no matter how irresponsible, superfluous, or supercilious it may seem. This is our call to duty, to serve Ireland and her Empire. Ireland, Ascend!" -James Connolly, 9th Prime Minister of Ireland, 1911

Yes, it's here folks! The awaited and anticipated sequel to my Victoria AAR: Ireland, Awake!

That is a promise that I will have to refer you to Furor Normannicus, The_Guiscard's CK AAR, to unravel. I have issued him a challenge that I have full intent to keep...

[volksmarschall]

I see a more vengeful Austria taking her revenge against you and the British and Russian Empires.

This is going to be just as great as your last one, I simply can't wait... at least until Vienna is under Irish occupation.
