Civil War EAS - Part 1

The UK. Since 1707, it has been a strong and powerful land. But today, that ruptures. Today, all hell breaks loose...

Parts of this don't really make sense: Scotland isn't isolated from the rest of the UK. It's on the same island as England and Wales, and anyone can travel freely between Scotland and England. Thus, even if it's impossible for the two pseudo-countries to see each other's alerts for some reason, people will talk. Scotland is in the UK. The alert's wording suggests that Scotland is some distant country that'a engaging in war and diplomacy with the far-away UK -- perhaps a thousand or two miles away, when the actual distance is 0 nanometers. Also, why is Scotland just revealing everything to its entire populace? It'd be tight-lipped about any war for independence until the moment it actually begins because again, people will talk.

I always thought that a Brexit-related WWIII would begin with other powerful EU member nations like France and Germany doing likewise and fatally weakening the EU in the process. I never expected a British Civil War due to the resentment in places like Scotland and Northern Ireland to escalate into WWIII

[@JNewsted1988]

Oh, boy... this is gonna get ugly. I could possibly see this becoming World War 3 (even though you already made a scenario like that).

[@Trainlover1995]

Okay, there are several things in this scenario that make no sense: 1. Why would Canada support Scotland against the UK? Since the US is supporting the UK, this means US troops WILL march north, and given this video was made in 2019, Donald Trump would likey use the British Civil War as an excuse to invade and annex Canada, then spin it as "unfinished business from 1812". 2. It makes zero sense for Denmark and Iceland to side against the UK. Scotland, at this juncture, would probably have little, if any, international recognition as an independent country, and Denmark and Iceland, last I checked, are both part of NATO, so they would HAVE to side with the UK, because the UK would quickly invoke Article 5. If Denmark sided against the UK, they would be treated as traitors, and wouldn't last long before Germany marched in and occupied it, while Iceland would probably be starved into submission by American submarines sinking all submarines. 3. Sweden siding with Scotland also makes zero sense. Back in 2019, Sweden hadn't yet applied to join NATO, because Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine yet. 4. The UK's withdrawal from the EU wasn't finalized until January 31, 2020, so EU nations would still have sent help. And even then, most EU nations are also in NATO, so those nations would HAVE to aid the UK.

[@diodamke1007]

I've been watching a few of these EAS scenarios over the past couple of days and none of them make sense... there's even more blatant stuff that doesn't make sense here. Like why is Scotland invading the rest of the UK and trying to take it over? What would that even entail, moving the capital to Edinburgh? Any union would inevitably be dominated by England because it has such a larger population than the other nations, so it makes no sense for Scottish nationalists to want to be in the union, even at the head of it, because they know they would be marginalising their own country. Like the only way this could work is if Scotland started to act like ancient Spartans and treat the rest of the UK like Helots but they're not that bloody insane, and the UK's allies would never allow that anyway. Northern Ireland seceding makes no sense either because of all the Unionists there, I could see the IRA trying to take over but Unionists would oppose them and it would have its own civil war on its hands. I still have no idea what Canada's motivation to support Scotland would be considering they wouldn't want to embolden their own potentially separatist region of Quebec, and as you say the US would never allow it (I think that would be true regardless of who was president, they don't want the UK to break up). And why are nations like Japan getting involved at all? Argentina would probably invade the Falklands though, that's the one bit that's on point.

I think, UK should learn from Germany. In case you don't know, when Germany reunited back in the 90's, the Bundestag (german federal pairlament) passed a law, which forbids federal states to leave the german federation and gain independence. UK should do it to prevent scenarios, like this one.

[@tf5]

I just want to add that I think it makes little sense for Sweden and Denmark to be in support of the FRoS, seeing as both Sweden and Denmark are also kingdoms, and their monarchs are related by blood to the british royal house. They'd support the UK, while Iceland, being a republic, might be in support of the FRoS, but considering Iceland's close ties to the other nordic nations, they're also likely to follow the other nordic nations.
