Scotland Leads Charge For Secessionist Movement

Scotland is one of a few regions looking to gain independence from their country. Scotland is trying to gain independence from the United Kingdom while Catalonia is trying to secede from Spain and Flanders is trying to secede from Belgium. These regions want to secede because they believe that they make more profit for their country than they receive from their country. The view of secession is still a view held by a minority at this point in Scotland and Flanders. However, in Catalonia the support seems to be at or above 50 percent.
