Well England is the biggest country in Britain and where the government is based, but it does annoy me because Scotland and England are two different places entirely. Scotland won't become independant because as far as I know the population isn't big enough to sustain itself without the inclusion of the UK, so even if you wanted to I'm pretty sure it's not possible for you to retain free healthcare and schooling. [Also, it would be even more difficult since the population of elderly people in Scotland has sharply risen - people are living longer - whereas the amount of children has dropped.]
