Nah, man, call it the Highlander.

My suggestion is the Mel Gibson. It will be divided into one hundred smaller units, which will be called Freedoms.

^ What would the currency in B2 be called? There should be a cool name for it if the 'Yes' vote wins and that's the route that's taken.

still letting you use the pound anyway as we can't actually stop you

Hypothetically, Scots would still be able to use the pounds in their wallets to go the store and buy groceries, but the Bank of England absolutely can and absolutely will disavow an independent Scotland from officially using the pound sterling without an adequate negotiation process. If you want Scotland to be like Zimbabwe and have no currency on a government level and use a foreign currency on the level of actual citizens, that's fine, but if not, Scotland needs to negotiate the terms of a currency union with the Bank of England. In those negotiations, Scotland would accept that they're negotiating because it is the Bank of England and the Bank of England alone that dictates the pound.

No, it's entirely a political move. The UK would be fucking themselves up if they did that. It's the same as the US and China in trade only to a smaller scale, no side would for a second want to remove something that's win-win for the both of them. Consider that Greece is more and more relying on tourism, which is entirely dependant on international wealth of the rest of Europe, their situation is very much different from us.

The UK's position on a currency union between the United Kingdom and an independent Scotland is identical to their position on the United Kingdom using the Euro. To quote the head of the Bank of England verbatim, "A currency union is incompatible with sovereignty."

Aren't Scots more in favour of EU integration than the rest of the UK? Just take on the Euro, then. I'm sure it'll work out.

I was hoping for my claim to include most of the surrounding mountain ranges, and not extend out so much across the river. The region will be called 'Noctua'.

Part of our dress code when we were younger was basically JACKETS ARE MANDATORY because WOW it gets cold in the winter.

I remember being denied recess in Elementary School because teachers said my jacket wasn't warm looking. );

scribz said In terms of tax, we produce about 21.7% of the UK's tax spendings, which shows we subsidies the rest of the UK, despite being returned with a zeitgeist view that we're all "subsidy junkies" (to quote Lord Monckton, former UKIP MP) and are getting subsidized by England, people find this a little insulting.

Can you provide a source from 21.7%? I'm looking at a few different sources and they're all telling me that it's somewhere between 8.2% and 9.9%, so right where it ought to be in regards to population.

And I think a good question is: why should they be to, as you say, not cut off completely?

Liar.
