History

Scotland is the most autonomous country of the United Kingdom; it has got its own parliament, legal system, education system and even its own national football team. Scotland was not a part of the UK for many centuries. The Romans never conquered Scotland. In the Middle Ages it became the united country. There were many wars between England and Scotland, but they could united only in 1707. In 1603, the Scottish king James VI, became a king of England and a century later Scotland and England were united.

Mari El was called autonomous till the 20^th century. It also had its own government. The Mari people had also a long history of unity with Russia. Ancient Mari tribes have been known since the 5^th century. Later their area became a tributary of the Volga Bulgaria and the Golden Horde. In 1440s it was incorporated into the Khanate of Kazan. In 1552 Ivan the Terrible joined the Mari area after the fall of Kazan. Then a period of 30-year-long cheremis wars began.

So both Scotland and Mari are quite autonomous, both countries tried to be independent and fought for it.
