The Scottish Republic, sometimes alternately referred to as the Republic of Scotland, and commonly known as Scotland, is a small European country located on the island of Great Britain. As of its 2008 census the population of Scotland was just shy of eight million. It is bordered to the south by England, and on all other sides by the North Sea. The official language is English, but in 1990 Scottish Gaelic was introduced as an "alternate" language that was equally recognized in government correspondence. The primary religion of Scotland is Protestant Christian, although Roman Catholicism is common as well.

  • The Scottish Republic, sometimes alternately referred to as the Republic of Scotland, and commonly known as Scotland, is a small European country located on the island of Great Britain. As of its 2008 census the population of Scotland was just shy of eight million. It is bordered to the south by England, and on all other sides by the North Sea. The official language is English, but in 1990 Scottish Gaelic was introduced as an "alternate" language that was equally recognized in government correspondence. The primary religion of Scotland is Protestant Christian, although Roman Catholicism is common as well. Scotland has reemerged as a developing European economy thanks to massive oil reserves and a burgeoning financial and business industry in Edinburgh, which is a known tax-haven due to laws passed in the late 1980's. Scotland was a kingdom between its independence from the United Kingdom in 1815 to 1969, when the last King of Scotland, Michael II, was overthrown in a military coup, plunging the country into five years of instability. From 1977 to 1997, Scotland was run as an effective, but non-official, single-party dictatorship under General Sean Connery until he was overthrown during the 1997 American invasion of Scotland. Since then, the country has been a democratic state, holding general elections every four years, although the government is structured as a parliamentary republic, as per the English model.
