Similar to what it is now, except Scotland has control over itself instead of the partial control we currently have. Our government has been set up for years and we have always had our own laws.

Yes to the first 2. Although why we would continue to have an unelected head of state is beyond me.

I doubt we'd use the euro since noone here seems to want it.
