- Thereafter, it comprised that part of the country not under foreign dominion at a given time.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gaelic Ireland article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 85: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
