Regional Independence

When such hard-hitting questions as who to trade with and what to trade come up it is natural to experience internal disagreements over policy.  That during Brexit, the UK government is divided bespeaks the chaos wrought  in seizing independence as its freedom! The focus must be clear during the transition: remind yourself, UK, what will this self-force of independence propel you into--namely, an unknown, dynamically changing new situations of unlimited possibility? F orget the past of constriction and ennui in order to accept your new responsibilities; and get ready for whate'r befalls!  Remember, independence is a creative self-driving force, bringing untold satisfaction and an ever-increasing self-awareness of your mission among the nations of the world.  ONWARD!  Perhaps, I am in somewhat of agreement with Nigel Farage of the EU Parliament that Brexit is a dream that does not become reality until the break happens and UK is truly...

That a government seeks recognition to join the international community of nations and governments recognized by such agencies as the United Nations has unleashed an enormous force onto the world scene whereby some other nations are bound to react.  A government that has gained the vote of its people to proceed to take on the responsibilities involved in becoming an independent, responsible agent on behalf of the will of its citizenry through popular referendum, will no doubt, incur the wrath and indignation of some interested states already in existence affected by this monumental proclamation of the new state.  The heralding could lead to civil war (as in the case of Georgia) or it could simply be accepted (as apparently in the case of UK leaving EU). Nevertheless, there will be hard feelings, to be sure.  Attachments will be severed; and a mild earthquake will be felt!  But, things have a way of working themselves into a new situation for all concerned, especial...

     Since this topic is taking hold across the globe, I shall attempt to address the various efforts to establish regional independence republics  as they unfold.  No point to present an ad hoc approach that fails to note the manifold manifestations of the phenomenon prior to their historical development.  Meaning, I shall jump into the topic in the midst of  governments and political groups plunging into making sure their hopes to establish a regionally independent state are met with success.      First off, then, let's look at what I take to be a singular model of success in the course of over 20 years in which independent republics have been established since the demise of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s: The Independent State of Georgia.  Be it known the constitution of what was then called The Russian Confederation of    Independent States was adjusted to fit the political reality of a domineering Russia amid a ...
