Oh my dear Spain. A country I have previously visited and instantly fell in love with. However, sadly, no country is completely perfect. Catalonia by all rights is a separate nation- it has its own language, flag, anthem, you name it. However, legally, it is still a part of Spain. Catalonia has petitioned to become a separate country of its own for quite some time now and like most outcomes nowadays- it has turned violent. Catalonia held a vote where 90% of its participants voted for the split! Among the result a riot ensued between citizens and police. The violence was tamed and the government was given 48 hours to give a decided answer. What do you believe the final outcome will be? What would you decide?

I am interested to see what the final outcome will be. My question is what gives Catalonia the legitmacy of being a seperate nation and who decides this?
