Just to put that into context, that difference between rUK and iScotland is more than twice the difference in terms of population size and GDP than between the rUK and the USA, whose population and economy is over 5 times our size. The difference between rUK and Scotland will be 10 times your size. The question you have to ask yourself is this, do you want to help lead this beast or be dominated by it? If you place yourself outside of it, you will be dominated by it.
Does rUK retain its seat on the Security Council?
