And how do you think we got to this 'nation state'?
1707 - Act of Union between Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland to form Kingdom of Great Britain
1801 - Act of Union between Kingdom of Great Britain and Kingdom of Ireland to form United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
1922 - Amended to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland following southern Irish independence.
Scottish independence is dissolution of the 1707 Act of Union. Anything after that is null and void. We're back to pre-1707.
