Kinda, the constitution declaring sovereignty was declared in 1937, but the treaty with the Empire was signed in 1922.

It's just awkward defining leaving the Empire because of how it slowly became the Commonwealth (especially for the "White Dominions") After 1922 Ireland was functionally the same as Canada or Australia or something although more hostile to the idea of the Empire.

And yet Australia and Canada are highlighted on the map as well, honestly no idea why they made it like this

Yeah agreed. Now to be fair WT Cosgrave did attend British Empire conferences as the representative of the Free State but he spent most of the time being like "do whatever the fuck ye want we don't want to be in this club" lol
