An interesting issue in the eventual independence of Catalonia is that, by law, Spanish citizens remain Spanish even if they are also citizens of another country. Therefore Catalans would not lose their Spanish passports, and would be therefore EU members, even if Catalonia was independent from Spain. And the children of Spanish citizens are by law also Spanish citizens. The strange case of a non-EU nation with 100% EU citizens in it would be an interesting development in geopolitics.
