What will the Country be called if Scotland leaves?

[potterfan3]

If Scotland go, we won't be able to be the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" anymore, as the island of Great Britain will no longer be united. So "United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland"? (Wales being included in the "Kingdom of England" like it was when we joined with Scotland).

This will annoy the Welsh, so they'll have to be added to the name, but their not a Kingdom they're a Principality (have a Prince not King/Queen), so the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland and the Principality of Wales? This sounds awkward.

What if Cornish nationalists get their way, and Cornwall becomes the fifth (or fourth is Scotland goes) home nation? That's a Duchy! So, the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland, the Principality of Wales and the Duchy of Cornwall?

What about the demonym and flag?

If that happens, We'll still be 'Great Britain' We will always be that regardless of which part of this Island were to declare UDI, but as you point out, we will no longer be 'The United Kingdom', but I can't see it happening, England is the 'Bread Basket' of these Isles, and in Modern times they need England more than they need us.

The United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, pretty obviously. The stuff about Wales being a "principality" is just a red herring. The "Kingdom" is the combination of all three.
