June 14th, 2009: A referendum on the final status of Northern Ireland is planned for August 12th, 2010. Advocates for the three positions in the poll commence fierce campaigns to try to make the referendum swing their way.
August 12th, 2010: Shockingly the pro-Independence side of the poll won by a 2% margin. Equally shocking is that both the Free State of Ireland and the United Kingdom agree to recognize the newly-independent Republic of Ulster. Unionists reluctantly agree to the referendum results as they would result in "Rome Rule" as was frequently claimed, and Nationalists reluctantly agree to the terms as it'd mean that Ulster would no longer be "British-Occupied Ireland".
