They used to fight wars to achieve such goals, sadly, in some areas they still do.
The EU has been a great excercise in peace keeping. It saddens me for the UK to be breaking ties with the EU. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to stay within the union and it's national party, the SNP, are still pushing for a second referendum, although with somewhat reduced support in recent times.
I doubt that Scotland will secede from the rest of the U.K. Public sector expenditure exceeds Scottish revenue at present by a substantial margin. If deprived of funding from the British Exchequer, one imagines that Scotland would need to endure a sharp adjustment.
