EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

This was in an email from a German friend just now (academic, political theorist, moderate). Some insight into what feelings are like over there.

the greatest danger now is the desire for "revenge" and "punishment" among some politicians in Berlin and Paris. The Brits should get out fast, some have said, and we'll make sure they won't get the status of Norway or Switzerland, but rather that of Turkey. Merkel, once again, is a voice of reason and moderation. A lot of schadenfreude also on the increasingly likely secession of Scotland.

The Merkel point is what I found most interesting.

More importantly though, now that we're "independent," can we have our own word for schadenfreude?
