00:00What if Scotland declared independence from the UK?
00:03The Scottish people would start by increasing support for independence,
00:06then they would demand a referendum and leave the UK legally.
00:09The UK wouldn't be too affected by this, except that they would have to change their flag.
00:14They wouldn't immediately declare war, since that would diminish their foreign relations.
00:19However, they would be aware of the domino effect,
00:21and that if they let Scotland go without a fight, Northern Ireland and Wales might follow.
00:26They would make restrictions that would make Scotland struggle alone.
00:30However, Scotland would begin seeking to join NATO and the EU and to gain more recognition.
00:37The UK would decide to compromise and grant them larger autonomy if they rejoin the UK.
00:43Seeing that they would receive all the benefits of independence while remaining inside the UK,
00:49the Scottish people would decide to accept, and the crisis would be reverted.
