Scotland is a releasable nation located in Europe 
. It can be released from the 
United Kingdom.
Background
Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Covering the northern third of the island of Great Britain, mainland Scotland has a 96-mile (154-km) border with England to the southeast and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the northeast and the Irish Sea to the south. There are also more than 790 islands, principally in the archipelagos of the Hebrides and the Northern Isles. Most of the population, including the capital Edinburgh, is concentrated in the Central Belt – the plain between the Scottish Highlands and the Southern Uplands – in the Scottish Lowlands.
Scotland is divided into 32 administrative subdivisions or local authorities, known as council areas. Glasgow City is the largest council area in terms of population, with Highland being the largest in terms of area. Limited self-governing power, covering matters such as education, social services and roads and transportation, is devolved from the Scottish Government to each subdivision. Scotland is the second largest country in the United Kingdom, and accounted for 8.3% of the population in 2012.

Scotland starts out as Non Aligned, allowing free choice to any ideologies. But communism is the recommended one due to its massive factory output buff, but a good ideology in the beginning is socialism due to you having only 500 Political Power when released.
Strategy
This Strategy will split to 2 in which the UK or Foreign nations trying to get you or none.
(Strategy Based on the editor's Experience on being Scotland)
Before Being Scotland
It is highly recommended to build all sorts of factories only in Scotland, so the player can have a fresh start without wasting money on building factories. Heres the List of the Factories (And buildings) and required resources to build in Scotland only.
- 3 Electronic Factories: 6
Gold and 6 
Copper. - Steel Factories: 0.2
Titanium and 4 
Iron. - Motor Factories:
Tungsten. - Fertilizer Factories: 3.5
Phosphate. - Civilian factories.
- Airport.
After you have built all these factories (DO NOT BUY RESOURCES AS THE UK BEFORE BEING SCOTLAND AS YOU ARE GIVING THE UK FREE RESOURCES FOR TANKS TO RECLAIM YOU) it's time to release Scotland (If you want you can give Manpower and money to Scotland before being it), immediately buy the required resources to supply your factories.
If UK is AI
This is the best scenario you can have, since Scotland doesn't have a military. Build tanks due to you building factories on Scotland before releasing Scotland and sell 
Electronics to any available AI, justify on United Kingdom and Ireland. At least build 1.200 Tanks for the invasion of UK, if you didn't disband the British army before playing as Scotland. Build a few Artillery divisions and declare war on UK. Use AI Luring to kill the AI troops and move your tanks out and let the Artillery wipe out most of the British army. After the British army is in low numbers, use your Tanks to finish off the rest of the British army and then Auto-capture (Make More tanks to make the invasion faster). Hooray! You conquered UK, use your tanks to invade Ireland. It won't be hard so no further explanation, then get 
Wales. Congrats, you united the Isles, You can now either colonize in other parts of the world or expand in Europe, if you want to expand Europe, you must at least have what the British have, a good navy. A navy is important if you wanna wipe any army that is threatening your army. Good luck to you!.
If Any Foreign Power is trying to reclaim you.
If the foreign country is a superpower, get an alliance with other superpowers or your European neighbors. The only thing that can save you is a miracle or your allies intervening in any conflicts with the UK.
If UK Is trying to reclaim you
You could try allying with them, they could change their mind and accept your alliance. If he doesn't immediately get allies like 
France or 
Germany, they could help you deal with UK if he wishes to reclaim you. You should try to attack the UK first and invite your allies, you have 80% chance of winning. If your alliance requests are rejected, build 2 Destroyers to destroy his army and use tanks to destroy his army after suffering casualties from your destroyer. The UK has probably left right now. If they are still in the game, be cautious as they still could have spare manpower.
Colonization
The New World
After your independence, you could try retaking Panama after the failure of Scottish colonization. After you get 
Panama, You could try getting 
Colombia and 
Venezuela for its 
Oil reserves. Your only threats to your colony in South America are either 
Brazil or 
Mexico and even 
United States, it is recommended to use the jungle biome when South American or North American powers tried to get your colony in South America. It is also recommended to get a navy to prevent naval landings from other powers if you lose your mainland. This is good but not the best way to gain your power. (You can also try expanding to North America but not recommended)
Mother Continent
This is the best way to gain your power, Africa 
the land where Europeans scramble for it. It is recommended to either get your first colony in 
Senegal or 
Algeria and then keep expanding on Africa. If you do this you can be placed as a Regional Power or a Superpower after taking chunks of Africa, your only threat to your African colonies is 
Nigeria, 
South Africa or other colonizers. You can try fight them off using your military or you could be friends with them. After taking some chunks from Africa you can hop on and sail to another continent and make a new colony there. This is the most recommended to do after being free or being done with European affairs.
The Old World
This is the least recommended since there are 2 superpowers on the same continent. You should get some parts of Africa, then make a colony in east Asia. That way you gain more money after you colonize it. After you set your colony in Indonesia, you could try expanding in southeast Asia or south Asia if India is AI. You could try capital sniping China and get more power, but you would need a massive economy to fund yourself a big navy and a big army.
Oceania
This is good, but you won't gain much from it. You should do this after getting some colonies in Asia.
Threats
- France trying to form
Franco-British Union. - Ireland trying to unite the Celtics.
- United Kingdom retaking you.
- United States using you as a base.
- Germany trying to form
European Union or just trying to conquer as much land as possible. - Scandinavian Nations attempting to form
North Sea Empire or looking to expand their borders. - Another Celtic nation trying to form
Celtic League.
Formables
Scotland can currently form the Celtic League.
