Fan Fic: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?

Northern Ireland is a country that resulted from the 1922 dividing of Ireland between the predominantly Protestant and British-influenced northern region and the rest of Ireland (the Republic of Ireland), which has historically been culturally independent of the United Kingdom and is predominantly Catholic. Northern Ireland is known for its murals, many of which depict political themes inspired by the country's recent prolonged civil war. Coined "The Troubles," violence erupted from 1966 to 1998 between various factional terrorist groups (some aiming to reunite Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland while others called for Northern Ireland to remain a part of the United Kingdom), the British military, and the Irish military. Since the fighting has ceased, new murals have become increasingly lighter-hearted, including themes such as pop culture and soccer.

Time is of the essence, you think to yourself as you walk the streets of Northern Ireland. Precious hours tick away as you ask for information leading to Carmen Sandiego.

"No, I have not seen this person," says the cable guy.

The maid answers, "I have never seen the person you are looking for."

The mime looks at you quizzically, then shrugs.

You have no luck in Northern Ireland. Where to next?
