Map of Ireland The Republic of Ireland is an independent EU country on 80% of theEmerald Isle, sharing the rest with Northern Ireland, part of the UK. This arrangement has been in place since 1922.

Rapid change - social, economic and religious - has occurred since the 1980s. Social attitudes are more liberal with the influence of Europe, prosperity is increasing and people's allegiance to the Catholic Church has been declining - although still very strong compared with other parts of Europe.

Albania's Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha, proclaimed his country to be the world's first truly atheistic state. Under Hoxha's rule, Captain Berti Dosti was one of the elite who served on a communications team monitoring Albania's borders for American incursions. However, this diligent soldier left his country unguarded for 15 minutes a week as he regularly tuned into Trans World Radio's broadcasts, ultimately becoming a believer. Had he been discovered he would probably have been shot. Yet this young man with a growing faith continued to listen and would later pioneer the rebuilding of Albania's wrecked society.
