THERE IS NO SPAIN:

Catalonia holds referendums to push for independence from Spain (Fiona Govan, 11 Dec 2009, Daily Telegraph)

"The time has come for us Catalans to seize our destiny, to stand up and demand what is our right. We are a nation and as such we deserve the right to self-determination," [Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona FC] told residents on Thursday in Tárrega, a town 80 miles southwest of the region's capital Barcelona.
