    I was surprised by how small a "country" in terms of population Scotland is (5.3 million). There are as many people in Yorkshire. And there a 10 times more people living in England.

    Having said that, Latvia and Lithuania are smaller, so that's no reason why they shouldn't be a separate country.

    I would expect the Scottish Yes camp see themselves more like Norway, Finland or Denmark that all have similar populations.
    The 3 Baltic States have a standard of living at around 55% that of the EU average.

    Most people on here seem to be believing the polls and bookies, but lots of people up here think they have all badly mis-judged things.

    Yes fair point. They're smaller that I realised too. Does it make you think how busy England is?
