It's POSSIBLE MSH was making a joke about "[A]'merica"... That's how he typed Mercia, could have been a typo though.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It was actually a typo (I was checking to see if it really was just America without the A and forgot to change it back), but that was also my point. It's similar enough to the joke that I would think you'd have objectors.

Is' it too late to define Scotland?
why can't the The Five Boroughs and York join Scotland? maybe it's that i really don't like the main party's here (lieing **** in yellow ,honest   ***TS in blue, and plan old **** in red)
Secondly why didn't the rest of the union get to to vote on Scotland? 
Just a simple yes ,tell the scots to get going / stay to vote, it's just the the hole NO campaign is being run with out my consent or input.
 p.s  i want to see a free Scotland, out from under the southern yoke, it's just that i wish more of us got to decide if we wish to go with you.

Though I would not have the power myself, if I was Grand Emperor of Scotland I would gladly accept any part of England/Wales that wants to join.

I notice that there are quite a few people on Bay 12 who think that Scottish independence is a good idea. I therefore have a certain proposal for you fellows.

If anyone is interested in doing a small piece of campaigning for Scottish independence, despite not living here or even being Scottish, I recommend posting a photograph of yourself holding a piece of paper with "Go for it Scotland" written on it and post a testimony (as large as you like) explaining your reasons for wanting Scotland to become independent. I can then send the images to a pro-independence group of artists called National Collective who will probably use the photos and maybe even include your testimonies in articles. They'd probably even tweet them on their twitter account, who knows. On average they get retweeted upwards of 30 times and seen by thousands of people. "Go For It Scotland" is actually a thing though, a handful of people across the UK and even in the USA (mainly expat Scottish actors over there) have contributed.

If you are uncomfortable about posting pictures of yourselves in the thread, you can PM me the images and testimonies and I can pass them on that way. Maybe you should give a first name, alias or nickname that you would wish to be known by and your age. Younger people's testimonies are very popular. You don't have to do this of course, this is just if you want to make a small mark on the referendum scene here.

But, but, what if those reasons are just 'well, I was kinda brainwashed by this guy on this one forum'?

Alternatively; I'll do it if the sign can say 'Owlbread for Grand Emperor of Scotland!' instead.

Ahah, I just signed up on GitHub, and the mail they sent me had a song called "Better Together". :p

How will Scotland deal with citizenship? Would it allow anyone in the UK to become a Scot citizen (maybe provided they live in Scoand or something?)

And what about Nova Scotia?

[Sheb]

From what they said, any UK citizen living in Scotland would become a Scottish citizen. I don't know what their position on double citizenship would be, but given their attitude of trying to make independence as unnoticable as possible, I guess any Scot that wants it will be able to keep its UK citizenship, if London is okay with it.*

Nova Scotia is in Canada, so I don't really see why you're bringing it up.

*Given that there is no real disadvantage to being a UK citizen, I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Scots decide to keep UK passport. It's fun to imagine a country where almost everyone is a dual citizen. For starter, it means the Scots will be able to keep voting for Westminster.

I'm curious, if for some very implausible reason Scotland and Britain go to war with each other, how will all those dual citizens decide which country's mobilization order should they follow?

[Sheb]

That's a really good question. It's one of the reasons European countries have only allowed dual citizenship recently. I guess the real answer is "renounce one nationality on the spot and choose which one they prefer".

Cut one of their hands off and send it to the conscription center. With a note saying "Hurr's ae hand ta holde yer gunn, ya sotter basterd" attached.

Well, it's Scottish-ish, so they should offer all Scotians citizenship as well. Just have to sort out all the applications with paw prints for signatures.

Thanks for the info, though

[Sheb]

Scottish nationalism is very cool in that it's civic rather than ethnic nationalism. It doesn't matter if you're descended from a proudly consanguineous line of Scots and that every single of your ancestors used to live in the same Highland village until 100 years ago. What matters is whether you live in Scotland now.

[scriver]

I'm nor sure if you noticed that I wasn't being serious or not. The joke is that Scotia is Scotland. And also that the only ones who live in Nova Scotia are retrievers. There. Now I've ruined it. And I only get to do one joke a month.

[Sheb]

I'm so glad you have other career plans beside stand-up comedian. :p
