Rutland didn't succeed - nor did Pimlico in the longer term! My questions were serious and based on the implications for the rest of the UK if there was a referendum on Scotland becoming totally independent - which presumably means what it says on the tin: total control over all aspects including currency, finance, defence, foreign relations, health etc etc. Any ideas?

Can you explain more please about "significantly ethnically different" - not sure if I understand. And what about all the citizens of England who are currently asking if they can vote to join Scotland and secede from England?

Some areas of England are significantly ethnically different to others. Scotland is not homogeneous - some areas may overwhelmingly wish independence while others do not. If Scotland can secede from the Union can parts of Scotland secede from Scotland? But most of all I refer the honorable members of this list to one great and glorious example (undermined as ever by the bureaucrats of the EU) The Principality of Hutt River.
