Question: What country was created under a government act in 1920?

The County of London was a county of England from 1889 to 1965, corresponding to the area known today as Inner London.  It was created as part of the general introduction of elected county government in England, by way of the Local Government Act 1888.  The Act created an administrative County of London, which included within its territory the City of London.  However, the City of London and the County of London formed separate ceremonial counties for "non-administrative" purposes.  The local authority for the county was the London County Council (LCC), which initially performed only a limited range of functions, but gained further powers during its 76-year existence.  The LCC provided very few services within the City of London, where the ancient Corporation monopolised local governance.  In 1900 the lower-tier civil parishes and district boards were replaced with 28 new metropolitan boroughs.  The territory of the county was 74903 acre in 1961.  During its existence there was a long-term decline in population as more residents moved into the outer suburbs; there were periodic reviews of the local government structures in the greater London area and several failed attempts to expand the boundaries of the county.  In 1965, the London Government Act 1963 replaced the county with the much larger Greater London administrative area. <SEP> This is a list of High Sheriffs of Carmarthenshire.  Carmarthenshire was originally created by the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284.  It became an administrative county in 1889 with a county council following the Local Government Act 1888.  Under the Local Government Act 1972, the administrative county of Carmarthenshire was abolished on 1 April 1974 and the area of Carmarthenshire became three districts within the new county of Dyfed : Carmarthen, Dinefwr and Llanelli.  Under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, Dyfed was abolished on 1 April 1996 and the three districts united to form a unitary authority which had the same boundaries as the original Carmarthenshire but remaining in the shrievalty of Dyfed. <SEP> The Government of Ireland Act 1920 (10 & 11 Geo.  5 c. 67) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.  The Act's long title was "An Act to provide for the better government of Ireland"; it is also known as the Fourth Home Rule Bill or (less accurately) as the Fourth Home Rule Act. <SEP>  It was created as a separate legal entity on 3 May 1921, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920.  The new autonomous Northern Ireland was formed from six of the nine counties of Ulster: four counties with unionist majorities and two counties, Fermanagh and Tyrone, which had slight Irish nationalist majorities (of 53.6% and 54.6% respectively in the 1918 election). Northern Ireland is one of the four countries of the United Kingdom (although it is also described by official sources as a province or a region), situated in the northeast of the island of Ireland.  The remaining three Ulster counties with larger nationalist majorities were not included.  In large part unionists, at least in the northeast, supported its creation while nationalists were opposed.
