The way I see it, the major problem with having Scotland an independent nation is its small population. But, even small Switzerland (1/2 the land area of Scotland and in the Alps, for God's sake) has a much greater population density and population (1 1/2 times the population of Scotland).
So what changes could occur to develop Scotland with a population of 14 million ((land area of Scotland)x(population density of Switzerland))?
BTW: I don't want the climate or geography changed!
Now, with that out of the way, how can we have an independent Scottish Empire? (Double points for combining it with the Isle of Man and a Catholic Northern Ireland; Triple points for making it the dominant nation in the British Isles.)
