If Scotland votes for independence, what will the remainder of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland become? "Great Britain" means the whole of the island including England Scotland and Wales as at present, so we will no longer be able to use the term Great Britain. It will be easy once Ireland is united (gets rid of the Northern Ireland problem) and Wales goes independent because then the only remaining bit will be England and could have that simple name. The problem will be worst when just Scotland has gone independent. We will have to call it "The United Kingdom of England Wales and Northern Ireland". Of-course, once we vote for an elected President instead of the monarchy, we can call it "The Republic of England Wales and Northern Ireland" but that's not a whole lot better.

Any ideas anyone? What will the country be called once Scotland leaves?

I would think U.K. would have to change their name to K.
