scottish independence

This is purely a matter for those living in Scotland but we know a number of things from the  previous splittng of countries including the amicable split of Czecoslovakia and the less amicable split of Sudan

1) Each country has its own currency
2) Each country has its own central bank
3) Each country has its own defence force
4)Each countries defence force stays within its own boundaries (Crimea has shown what can happen when a major defence force is in a different Country)
5) Each country can agree the share of the national debt or as in the case of Sudan go to arbitration
6) Each country becomes reponsible for its own tax rates, benefit rates including pensions
7) Each country will issue its own passport
8) The Country breaking away will have to renegotiate, if it wants to, all treaties and membership of all organisations as it is  a new country
9) Each country will have its own embassies
10) Free movement will depend on both being EU members

Does anyone outside the SNP believe that either Italy or Spain would not object to Scotland joining the EU to deter separatists in the Venice region and Catalonia
