In a utopian world, there would be no county lines whatsoever. Sadly though, people are dicks. And the more power they're handed the worse they seem to behave.
Yes. In a perfect world, we'd all get on with each other and there'd be no need for peoples / nations to define their own state borders. But reality is reality. England since Thatcher has been sliding more right wing, and the Scottish are different, they want to go a different path. Personally the dumping of the nuclear base anywhere near me by the government in Westminster would be enough to push me into the arms of any separatists.

But without county lines, how would decent Sussex* folk keep themselves separate from the inbred yokels in Kent*?
*Reverse entries if you're a Kentish man. Or adjust to suit your prejudice if you're a man of Kent who thinks Kentish men are inbred yokels, or vice versa

^^^ Totally agree. Its the gradual appearance of this in my thoughts that've pushed me towards a solid Yes (well, if I wasn't living abroad, thats certainly what I'd be voting).
The other thing which struck me the other day was how much I wholeheartedly support the Basque and their stance on being Basque,.. not French, not Spanish,.. Basque. The same rules should apply to my home country.

I truly hope Scotland gets Independence. I think Salmond is a clown who almost certainly is not the guy who's going to be able to navigate the country to the 'healthy place' but maybe the person who succeeds him or the one after that is, and for that reason its a thing worth doing.
