Catalonian Separatist Movement seems to be a recurring, natural reaction to “Globalist” impulses to remove borders and force people with different heritage, values, etc to occupy the same space and live within government-defined rules of behavior. Oh, and to consolidate all the worlds wealth, too.
Working on it anon, the communists messed up my last post and the text and links didn't come through. So here…. More about your map asap.

Catalonia was an independent region of the Iberian Peninsula – modern day Spain and Portugal – with its own language, laws and customs.
The Catalan region has long been the industrial heartland of Spain – first for its maritime power and trade in goods such as textiles, but recently for finance, services and hi-tech companies. It is one of the wealthiest regions of Spain - it accounts for 19 per cent of Spain’s GDP, equal with the Madrid region.
The economic crisis in Spain has only served to magnify calls for Catalan independence – as the wealthy Barcelona region is seen as propping up the poorer rest of Spain.
Secession would therefore cost Spain almost 20 per cent of its economic output, and trigger a row about how Catalonia would return 52.5 billion euros of debt it owes to the country’s central administration.
