Scotland, in addition to it's fossil fuels, it has a significant proportion of Hydro. Lots of possibilities there, not just with the resource but also the infrastructure and workforce.

Energy, Fish & Farming should be its direction. The Landmass of Scotland is more than half (59%) as that of England yet with less than a tenth of the population, and that population is concentrated in the lowland central belt.

Country-----------Population-Pop(%)-Area(km)area(%)Popdensity(per km2)

England	56,550,138	84.3	130,309	53.7	434

<<hypothermia kills>> WW2 Leningrad. Siege 872 days with temperatures down to minus 40 deg F. Not much in the way of heating and starvation rations. About a third of the population died. Siege of Leningrad begins - HISTORY I don't know why the West thinks it can screw with the Russians, and they have wrt Ukraine, and win. We haven't seen cold winters in the UK for a while. I find it coldest near freezing point. As the temperature plummets below that, the humidity disappears, and providing the wind isn't blowing, it's not as bad. Energy consumption for heating in buildings skyrockets of course. Lots of older buildings in Scotland have poor heat insulation.
