Great Scottish Republic



The Great Scottish Republic (Scottish Gaelic: Mor Alba Poblachd) is a Semi-Dictatorial Republic located in North Western Europe. It was founded in April 2001 as a result of the 2001 Scottish Revolution.

==History== Beginnings

The Great Scottish Republic was originally the dream of Alex James Keith, a man from Aberdeen, East Alba Province (formerly Aberdeenshire). He believed that Scotland, and all regions belonging to Scotland, should be completely separate from the UK and any other occupying country, and that the UK was an illegal occupying force in Scotland. In 2000, after hearing of the success of the Vietnamese Liberation Army, he, along with a group of friends and relatives, founded the Scottish Liberation Army. Many people supported his movement, and the SLA roster number 45,000 by the start of the 2001 Revolution.

Takeover of Edinburgh

On 7th September 2001 SLA troops positioned themselves around the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, disguised as anti-government protesters. Despite this interruption, parliament still met there that day, for what turned out to be the very last time as part of the UK. At 12:15pm, approximately 22,000 SLA troops stormed the Parliament, quickly taking the building and holding many important political figures captive.Holyroodhouse was taken just minutes later. Arthur’s Seat and Waverly Station were taken by 14:00, and Edinburgh Castle and Leith Ocean Terminal were captured by the end of the day. By September 12th the entire city had been overrun, and the Grand Scottish Republic (named after the Grand Yarphese Republic, of whom the SLA was founded in inspiration of) was declared on September 11th.

Battleof Scotland

After Edinburgh was taken, the SLA front swept east, taking Glasgow and the Central Scottish Belt and Glasgow by the end of the month, and raising the SLA roster to 100,000. Northern Scotland was easily taken by the end of November, as many Highlanders supported the movement. The Outer Hebrides were captured on November 11th, and Shetland was surrendered without a fight on November 25th. This left the only UK outposts in Scotland in the southern Border regions. Galloway was captured by December 20th, and on December 29th General MacLeod announced Scotland Proper liberated of British forces. On December 31st, Alex Keith called all higher importance SLA members to a meeting in Forfar, at which the Great Scottish National Legislature was formed and a constitution written.

Invasion of England

On 2nd February 2002 Alex Keith ordered the SLA to invade Northern England (Northumbria) for the liberation of ‘England occupied Scotland’. On February 5th, the SLA officially declared war on the United Kingdom. Scotland launched a massive offensive on the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed on the 7th, taking the town in just 3 hours. From there, the SLA marched south, capturing Newcastle on 1st March and Barrow-in-Furness on 5th March. On 9th May, Alex Keith announced the end of hostilities and the annexation of Cumbria, Northumbria, Tyne and Wear, Durham, North Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, York, Kingston-upon-Hull, Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwin and Blackpool.
