    Northern Ireland is still in the customs union, just with zero democratic representation and annoying customs forms when trying to trade with the mainland.

    Granted, I like it because it means we are strategically important. A business here can do business with both the UK and the EU. We also had the UK's discounted tariffs for the USA. We're kind of a funny special economic zone.
