Ireland is split into four provinces (originally 5, thousands of years ago). Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht. Each Province is sub divided into counties. There are 32 counties in Ireland. 9 of the 11 counties in Ulster are currently under indirect British rule. The remaining 26 counties form the Republic of Ireland. The occupied six counties of Ulster are also erroneously referred to as "The North", Northern Ireland" & "Ulster".

Ulster is not the name for any country. This is a common confusion. Ulster is a province consisting of 9 counties. 6 of those counties form what is called Northern Ireland. So Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same.
