The territorial extent covered by the term ''Ulster'' may vary, reflecting the prevalent deep political and cultural divisions. *The province of Ulster, one of the historic four provinces on the island of Ireland - comprising nine counties, six in Northern Ireland and three in the Republic of Ireland. *Northern Ireland is sometimes referred to as ''Ulster'', particularly by the unionist community, in this sense comprising the six UK-ruled counties only. Political and paramilitary organizations, parties and movements having "Ulster" as part of their name are almost invariably on the Unionist side; military and police units having such names are often accused of a pro-Unionist bias. That is, however, not necessarily the case with names in other spheres including "Ulster". For example, Ulster sports associations and teams often form part of an all-Ireland structure and thus, while not overtly political, are favorably regarded by Irish Nationalists. ==Flags== * The divergent meanings of "Ulster" are reflected in divergent flags: * * The Flag of Ulster which represents the whole of the historic province of Ulster * * The Ulster Banner, used from 1953-1972 as the banner of the former Government of Northern Ireland. Today it is still used by some Northern Ireland sports teams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Ulster-related topics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
