For 1 down, a popular piece of trivia in America (though I think actually untrue) is that every American state supposedly has a city named Springfield, so you could figure that Massachusetts has one as well. This is a running joke in the show The Simpsons, where the writers have never stated which state the show takes place in, and since the city is called Springfield it could be in any of the 50 states.
Great solve. I agree with your eyebrow being raised at prevaricate. I always understood it to mean not telling a lie, but simply avoiding speaking the truth.
Northern Ireland is actually an area in Ulster. Ulster is one of the four historic regions of Ireland, and all of NI is in it, but isn't quite all of it.

Is this black magic? I’m in awe.

Brilliant bud. Great solve.
Nicely solved.
Time to draw stumps, haha
Total novice. But that corgi solve was incredibly quick.
