This map shows how Europe would look if every separatist movement was granted its dream of independence.
With the Scottish referendum just days away, the issue of regions breaking away from their traditional rulers is looming large over the continent.
The map features well-known separatist movements, such as the powerful and vocal Basque Nationalist movement in northern Spain and southwestern France, as well as the more obscure, such as the Savoyan League, which supports the independence of the Savoy region of France, which has a population of around 405,500.
