History
The Irish Army was established on January 10, 2011 during the Country Presidency of CelticTiger211. In December of 2010 Ireland had been critically wiped by the UK, leaving the nation with no regions. As a result of this event, the game of eRepublik transferred all of Ireland's political parties and organizations to the United Kingdom, thus leaving Ireland with a blank domestic structure.
Note that the mechanics of eRepublik no longer transfer national structures in this way following wipes, the circumstances surrounding the foundation of the Irish Army are unique to the time and mechanics of this period in history. Before this event took place the Irish community was characterized by disunity (infighting) between its citizens; notably between the Irish Citizens Army (ICA) and the Irish Defence Force (IDF). Note again that during this period in eRepublik's development there were not in-game military units, therefore military organizations were entirely player organized and defined.
After the disunity that had characterized Ireland, a popular attitude became that the silver lining to the wipe of December 2010 was that it provided a fresh start for the nation's community. In this spirit of potential unity the Irish Army was formed, and in the process of developing this new national military unit both ex-IDF and ex-ICA members were brought into the ranks of command and service. Among the founders of this new unit are recorded CelticTiger211, Marcus Suridius, Orangejuicemmm, and Seanan. It is worth noting that at the time of the Irish Army's foundation these founders represented a coming together of large and respected groups in the community who had formerly been opposed to each other. These four founders were at one time inducted into a hall of fame for their service to the Irish Army, along side EmalS who contributed companies to supply the unit, Nephworks who was an outstanding commander, and Chance Harrison who was inducted as a celebrated soldier.
