If Scotland achieves independence then Great Britain has to change its name to Fair-to-Middling Britain. It says so in the Mediocra Carta.

That one annoys the bejesus out of me.

Ugh, don't get me started on all the weirdness that is the naming convention of that place.

Great Britain includes Northern Ireland, so that does not compute.

No, it doesn't, Great Britain is specifically the name of the island Using "Great Britain" as a synonym for "the United Kingdom" is common, but incorrect

Yeah but, "the unided kindom of great britain and ireland' wouldnt work either, cuz one of the 3 kondoms of the island would be out.

Yes, the *full name* of the United Kingdom would be in dispute But if you want to get really technical about it, they couldn't even say "UK" anymore -- Northern Ireland is no longer a kingdom, so subtracting Scotland would make the UK a union of only *one* kingdom, England
