#1 So does that mean if the UK divides and do the new nations make it two seats on the Security Council?

#2 How about if Britain then loses the UN seat, since it won't be Britain anymore but England.

Scotland as an independent nation with the Queen as head of state will be just another country in the Commonwealth.

#3 I think it's about time. Scotland and England are just too different for one to rule the other.

It has long been noted that the reason Scotland has never had an effective king for long, is that they are their own worst enemy. Any time someone showed prospects as a leader, everyone would turn against him.

But Scotland has an unusual and very interesting historical partner, in of all things, Poland. And even right now, the two have what the other needs.

#4 Correct me iff I'm wrong, but technically speaking, wasn't Scotland already supposed to be in confederatist political, etc. union wid England as part of the original United Kingdom [England, Scotland, + Ireland = now Northern Ireland], where Scotland technically maintained its national "sovereignty" + "cooperated" wid the ruling English Monarchy later Parliament, albeit it ended up ultimately becoming dominated by England = London???

IIRC the Scottish Govt was officially "asked" many times by London to give its consent to the recruitment, etc. of Scots into the English, later "British" + "Commonwealth", military forces in addition to Scotland-affecting econ policies???
