It has an area of ​​24,127 square kilometers and a population of 1,101,266 (2002 census preliminary figure). It is one of the old kingdoms of Ireland.

It is dominated by mixed agricultural areas of arable farming, dairy farming, and livestock farming, but modern industrial clusters can be seen in the coastal cities facing St. George's Channel. Cork, Waterford, and Limerick are the main cities.
