The Basque Country.

Back in the day, I used to teach modern, Spanish political history to 'A' Level students.
One of my favourite essays was: 'Could Catalonia or The Basque Country survive economically as an independent nation? - Choose either one of these autonomies.' Every group had this little beauty!
It seems that I was ahead of my time! As with Scotland - the answer is 'pretty poorly' when talking about The Basque Country - but a resounding 'Yes' where Catalonia was concerned!
