"In several regions of the world, independence movements exist or have existed (e.g. Quebec). Purely for the sake of comparison we have included them in the human development score table on page 8. Given the prevailing interest, we calcúlate the HDI scores for Catalonia, Flanders, Wallonia, Quebec and Scotland. Quebec would rank the highest among these regions/countries and 13th globally, compared to 11 th for Canadá. However, based on our calculations, both Catalonia and Scotland will rank higher than Spain and the UK, respectively. Catalonia would rank 20th globally, while Spain ranks currently 23rd and would slip to 26th ex-Catalonia." [Credit Suisse Research Institute (PDF)]
