Scotlandball

Scotlandball, also known as Bagpipeball or Scottlandball, or Scotchball even Claymore Country, and SCOOOTTLAAAND FORREVVVERRBALL is a drunk countryball located north of Englandball. It, along with Englandball, Walesball and Northern Irelandball are part of UKball. It is the land of bagpipes, haggis, ships and Braveheart. As of September 2014, it cannot into independence (AH LIVE AGAIN!!) though it can into being good relative to evil sibling's children. With UKball leaving EUball it is starting to think about independence again and the UK has passed a recent bill allowing Scotland to have another referendum. This seams to imply that it does not know that EUball doesn't want it without the rest of UK. It also taught USAball about FREEDOM! and building huge walls.
Now its independence movement is losing some of its support because of an idiot leader and it has been shown that 60% of him doesn't want a second independence referendum.
It did have an independence rally but they didn't make up too much of its population.
Also if it left the UK it would probably split like what happened with Ireland and Northern Ireland. But its interest in independence is falling anyway (most of the time he and the English actually agree and both regret Brexit). Besides, there seems to be a good chance of a good Brexit deal and UKball will probably rejoin afterwards.
However, after Article 13 was passed even it started to question its place in the EU (THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM OF THE INTERNET). Nowadays during the COVID-19 pandemic, Scottish independence is once more at an all-time high. If it'll eventually get independence remains unknown.
 
==Eachdraidh/History==
=== Pre-Historic & Roman Era ===
Early Scottish history started off with repeated glaciations, which destroyed any traces of any kinds of 2ball that may have lived there. The first known tribes in Scotland were Foragers that arrived to the area about 12,800 years ago. These foragers would end up building the first known permanent houses on Scottish soil around 9,500 years ago.
In 320 BC, Pytheas, a sailor from Ancient Greeceball created the first ever written reference to Scotland when he reached the top of the British Isles and named the northernmost part of the island ‘Orcas'.
The area that makes up Modern-day Southern Scotland was invaded in 79 AD during the Roman conquest of Britain. Roman Empireball would lose and regain control over the area several times until it's collapse and divide into East and West. Shortly after in 410 AD, many Brittonic Kingdoms became independent from the Western Roman Empire, such as Kingdom of Strathclydeball.
=== Kingdom of Scotland ===
In the early 6th century, Modern-day Scotland was divided into three kingdoms: Pictsball, Kingdom of Northumbriaball, and Dál Riataball. While Northumbria would be annexed by Englandball, Pictsball, Dàl Riataball, and other tribes would come together to form the Kingdom of Scotlandball.
In the 8th Century, Scotland would be raided by the Vikings, who eventually conquered many areas along the coast. In the 9th century, the Vikings allowed a Gael named Kenneth I to seize power of Pictsball. This caused the Pictish language to go extinct by the end of the 10th century.
In the 12th and 13th centuries, Scotland had a pre-dominate Gaelic culture, but immigrants from Englandball, Flandersball, and Franceball created a more diverse Scotland, causing the Gaelic language to be replaced by Scottish.
Shortly after, Scotland had gotten annoyed by the Norwegian Vikings in it's clay, and launched an invasion to kick them off the British Isles, which succeeded.
=== Wars of Scottish Independence ===
==== 1st war of Independence ====
In 1286, King Alexander III of Scotland died, his granddaughter also died four years later. To prevent civil war, many Scottish magnates asked Edward I of England to help with the dispute. Instead, Kingdom of Englandball extracted Scottish independence and recognized Scotland as a part of England. John Balliol would eventually become King of Scotland in 1292, and three years later Scotland would enter an alliance with Kingdom of Franceball. 
The same year, England invaded Scotland. But thanks to Scottish resistance, Englandballs army was repelled and defeated. A truce was also signed but it wouldn't last long, as many Scottish nobles would submit and declare themself as apart of Englands clay. The war would continue, with Englandball occupying almost all of Scotlandballs clay, and in 1305, William Wallace was captured by English forces, ending all major Scottish resistance. But before Edward I could take the Scottish throne for himself, Robert the Bruce crowns himself King of Scotland, and another uprising began.
 Kingdom of Scotlandball would slowly retake its former clay, with it reinstating its borders before the start of the war. A truce was signed in 1309, with Kingdom of Scotlandball retaining independence, while England would keep control of a few castles inside Scotlands clay. But the following year, England would invade Scotland once again, with much less success. Englandball would take some of Southern Scotland until there was a stalemate on the frontlines. Scotlandball would eventually take back the occupied land in 1314, and in 1315 Scotland would invade Englands territory in Northern Ireland because it is rightfully Scottish clay until they were kicked off the island in 1318. For the next decade there would be invasions into both England and Scotlands clay until the Edinburgh-Northampton treaty was signed in 1328, ending the 1st Scottish war of independence.
==== 2nd war of Independence ====

=== WW1 & WW2 ===
 Scotlandball heavily helped the British defeat German Empireball. Scotlandball sent over half a million of people from its clay to fight in the war, with a quarter of them dying in combat or from disease.
In World War II, it's children Glasgowball and Edinburghball were targeted by bombing campaigns by Nazi Germanyball, with the worst air raid it saw being in March 1941 during the Clydebank Blitz. After the war ended, Scotlandball's economic situation worsened due to overseas competition and an inefficient industry. Though, it would recover from the war after about a decade.
=== The Cold War ===
 Scotland was home to many of Britsh Empireball's nuclear weapons, one of the first civil-military nuclear power stations in the world was set up in Southwest Scotland. It was also a strategic location for USAball, as it was perfectly placed in the North Atlantic Ocean to detect Soviet submarines and communications. By 1980, it was home to many American nuclear submarine bases and military preparations.
=== Modern Day ===
In 1997, after the British Empire had fallen, it had gotten its own parliament along with its siblings Northern Irelandball and Walesball. 
In 2014, it got mad at the policies of UKball's parliament, and demanded independence. UKball decided to hold an independence referendum. However, 55% of its clay voted to stay, making Scotlandball upset. It tried to have a second independence referendum in 2023, but that never happened.
