Not a fan of others having sovereignty, are you.

@matthewjones9565 But every nation that seeks independence from England is told by the English that it not a country. That is standard operating procedure. But is it a nation? Could it be a nation?

@matthewjones9565 Well, if I need a grown up, I won't be asking you. Scotland is not a country, it is a nation. It wants to be country but the English won't allow it. An Irish nationalist leader called Charles Stewart Parnell once said in relation to Ireland: 'No man can set the boundary of a nation'. Turned out he was right. Scotland will be independent in a few years. England is also not country, because the English cannot admit they are a nation and leave the right union. They need the Scots as they are not yet ready to stand on their own two feet. Wales is not country but it is certainly a nation with its own language and culture. Northern Ireland is not a country nor is it a nation. It is a not-much-loved part of the UK in the waiting room for unity with the rest of Ireland. Cornwall is a not a country yet, and it is becoming a nation. That is all.

Yes, look what happened to them: they have a higher life-expectation at birth than the UK, the poorest 20% of Irish people are better off than the poorest 20% of the British people, most educated population in Europe, most productive workforce, they recently had a seat on the UN security council which they had to campaign for and their diplomats wiped the floor with the UK in both Brussels and Washington in relation to Brexit. Ireland is the 9th largest investor in the US economy because of success of Irish multi-national companies. I wonder can you name any? The Irish Central Bank was founded in 1944. Nobody funded Ireland as you claim, and politicians placed more importance on increasing sovereignty than economic development. I don't think Cornwall is seeking to follow a unilateralists route as an independent nation; more the multi-lateralism that brought Ireland success. What would be wrong with that?
