Paris (AFP) - Catalonia, which has threatened to declare independence from Spain, is only one of several regions in the European Union demanding more autonomy or even independence.
Here is a rundown of some of the others.
BIG LIST
Here is just ONE:
- Faroe Islands, Denmark -
Denmark's Faroe Islands, home to 48,000 people, will hold a referendum in April 2018 on a new constitution that would grant self-determination.
The islands have been autonomous since 1948, although foreign affairs and defence are still the domain of Copenhagen.

If EU countries fracture into 100 independent states, would it save the EU/euro? It'd be similar to U.S. states needing the federal govt for defense, etc... Of course the EU states would have a lot more power (for a while).
