Hell, why not an Israel? Bigger population and no occupation commitments...unless you include parts of Lanarkshire and the Glesga Strip. Small problem - to be an Israel you need to be beating the crap out of the indiginous population (any Picts left?) and of couse get Billions from the US to subsidise it all. I don't see the Scottish lobby having a lot of power in Congress at the moment. Peter Kemp
