So, if Scotland leaves...

selenak...who gets custody of James Bond? No, I don't mean an actor who played him once. Book!Bond is half Scot, half Swiss, and as of Skyfall, movie Bond is as well.
Now I suppose it could be settled by the place of residence. After all, that's why J.K. Rowling, who actually lives in Scotland, gets to vote, while Sean Connery, who hasn't lived there in decades, doesn't. But Movie!Bond in his Craig incarnation owns both a flat in London (at least I assume he got himself a new one after MI6, eyes keen on the budget, sold the old one after his supposed death in the Skyfall teaser) and his parents' place in Scotland. Also, if the money from all the North Sea oil doesn't come into England anymore I could see MI6 deciding certain agents who always destroy expensive equipment in their missions are the first who'll have to go. And even if the Scots get their own secret service, I can't see them finance Bond's expensive habits, either. They have a certain reputation re: money to maintain.
These deeply serious deliberations are brought to you my my procastination when it comes to Darth Real Life dealings.

Maybe England can have Bond as, presumably, Scotland gets The Doctor?
