When some local parliament will offer people to vote about independence of some area, they normally don't tell that if other independent states won't confess that independence, the new state is not juridically even exist. Nobody changes currency of that area and makes diplomatic relationship with it. So when some area wants to be independent it should ask support from other independent states before leaders of this new nation will call people to vote about independence.
This is a problem about this kind of actions. New nations called Catalonia are not very big. That's why their economical situation would be unstable before they invent new way to earn money. Major problem of those politics who wants independence is that they have populistic programs.
They promise people money when they vote for future of some areas. They use very simple arguments why everybody must vote independence of that area, and one is above all. That area must pay other areas social security because it is wealthier than other areas of that state. And when that area will become independent, the taxes are going down and life of people of this new state will become cheaper. Normally those great leaders of new nation doesn't explain that there is needed more than their own will to become independent state. Patriotism is of course good thing for people.
But when new state become independent it must build new government for it own citizens. It must make diplomatic relationship to other nations and make new economy, and make millions of other decisions. As many nation have seen, independence is not any fiesta. When fireworks ends and people goes home after independence party, there is lots of work to do, before new state will become normal nation.
Before nation new leaders are called to give speech to United Nations they must have support from other nations. And what is major thing about independence, is if new state will face threat or nightmares like collapsing economy, it must now handle that kind of situation alone. It can't get help from it past mother country. It must take lends or some other way to survive in that situation. If independence does't get support from other nation will it stay dream.
