The Kingdom of Great Britain (18th century) was called that because they were on the island of Great Britain (called that since about the 15th century), kind of like how the country of Australia is named after the continent which makes up most of our land mass. GB was as you rightly point out a historic state, however it is now only the name of the island. The UK used to be called "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland", until as you know part of Ireland declared their independence, I was simply pointing out that the UK, if the Scots go independent, will have to be renamed once again since it would no longer include all of GB.
Yes they could theoretically break their land mass off, however the vote for independence is a vote to leave the UK and declare independence, not a vote to use the UK's nuclear arms to create a division in the island.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
