I would bet on flanders.
We never heard of any violence related to independance there. But the region have a strong culture and even a different language than the rest of Belgium.
Belgium for the second time struggle to make a government. It looks lile a failed state from the outdoor.
For the french region Corsica might be a serious challenger but economically it will be hard for them to succeed outside of France. They know it and that's what keep them inside.
Also the high presence of criminal organization and criminality on the island might scare some people. France already failed to really control them. Without it will literrally be the far west.
A french place who haven't been quote is "New caledonia". A french island on the pacific who have two referendum about independance. They vote against each time, but the vote is clearly different according to the ethnicity of the population. The population there is multiracial (oceanians, locals and so on...). If the population changes, the result will change.
Another place that you don't talk about is feroe island who are part of Danemark.
A referendum in 1946 about independance had been voted and the yes won. The king cancelled the government and next election independantist loose.
It seems the island is divide half half on the subject.
What might change everything is the oil exploration. Because again the only bareer is money.

I also forgot to mention Quebec and Puerto Rico. All the same, if people want to vote for either of them (or any other unmentioned option, such as New Caledonia) they can do so in the "any other (please state)" category.

Latest poll in last hour.
Another poll today done by Survation. Economic risk holds it back otherwise most people want out.
I would vote for independence if I was convinced that it would be good for the Scottish economy.
- Agree 75%
- Disagree 25%
- Net: +50
Control over all decisions affecting people in Scotland should be made by the Scottish parliament/government, regardless of which political party is in power.
- Agreed 70%
- Disagree 30%
- Net: +40

It's hard to believe that any country in Europe or North America, generally in developed part of the world will soon get dissolved, because separatism usually occurs among poor and unsatisfied populations.
Why would some Dutch speaker from Belgium want to separate Flanders making oneself non-EU citizen outside of Schengen zone, when can have high quality life standard and freely travel across the Europe anyway?
