Should old wisdom be forgot and never thought upon? (Viable) sates don't come into being through democratic procedures!
One of the essential tests of whether a place can be justifiably called 'a state' is its capability to wage war (some would add: and to win it; but that's arguable). One might then say to those Scots who want independence and claim that Scotland can make a viable state: defend your point - and prove it.
PS Which - due to a few aspects of my psycho-religio-philosophical make-up - I won't say; but it reminds me to come back to an extremely damning aspect of Polish statehood.
