Well, they all can, and some did one time, but it didn't work well.

I heard on the radio that if indeed the vote passes, Scotland only has a few months to decide what they are going to do about their currency, military, intelligence agencies etc. It can't be easy creating a new country from scratch in a matter of months

This has been a huge story for a long time now. The breakaway probably wouldn't happen until early 2016.

It has just recently become a bigger story because the vote is this month and the polls are tighter than they ever been. For awhile, I thought this referendum would fail, but it looks to be way tighter.
