I think you are missing the point. The Icelandic people took control of their own country. The people didn't bump, anyone, and they were never a dependency of Denmark. They were born into bondage like everyone else, and simply decided enough was enough.
You are talking, in general political terms. I don't wake up in the morning worrying about the English or Afghan people. They are not the problem, the banks, the wealthy elite and the political class are the problem. Everyone plays by their systems of control.
You might as well be talking about Britain, being a dependency of America because they hold the worlds reserve currency.
To paraphrase the late George Carlin, it's an elite club, and the common people of this world, aren't in it.

Utter pish. Not worthy of you at all. You are just dodging the question.
Iceland became an independent In 1918 and a republic in 1944 previously it was a dependency of Denmark and Norway before that.
Now, do you think

Yes or no will do.
NO.
Gusmac, this is like a history lesson the people of Iceland played no part in. It's irrelevant. Iceland's new democratic model happened as a consequence of socioeconomic collapse. An educated public said enough was a enough and took control. A public I may add, for the most part, weren't even born between the years of 1918 and 1944. Independence played no part in their new democratic model, but a knowledgeable public did.
If the Scottish people want to control their own country, no one has the power to deny it, and we don't need anyone's permission.

The Icelandic people are no different but they took control.
The common people of Scotland will have to take control of the banks, the wealthy elite and their political class puppets, through writing their own constitution and by putting in the correct democratic mechanism.
Alec Salmond, or the SNP, is not about to give you independence with a constitution written by the people of Scotland, not now, not ever.
