At which point, if it succeeds and everything goes through, all of Jetpunk save for a few angry English people will happily welcome Scotland to the great family of independent nations! They're just not in it right now.
BTW, the Falkland Islands being described as "involved in an undeclared war between Argentina and the United Kingdom" makes it seem like it's still going on, at least the way I read it. Adding "... in 1982." would make it clear, but not exactly a huge issue!
Hi, liam here. I like this simple quiz, i dont see any problems. I would like to reccomend south ossetia and guam. But, if wouldnt like to edit it it is fine, i like this quiz, it is nominated.
Absolutely easy to recognise the imposters, couldn't have told you anything about all but 3 of them though - nice touch to add a description at the end on who's those flags actually are. Enjoyed that quiz, Thanks!
Some of them are yeah not recognized states, like Somaliland and SADR, but they are in practice independent. They work and do everything as if they are an independent country, especially when it comes to Somaliland, as the government there is completely detached from Somalia, which is even considered to be a failed state.
Its JetPunk not Jetpunk
It’s “it’s”, not “its”. Muphry’s law in action, haha.

Still more an independent country than Scotland will ever be!!!
