I think the Riots would all be in Scotland. . Though North Britain was fashionable for a while- Balmoral Hotel was once the North British Hotel, after all.

Based on the article, would a closer analogy be Scotland changing its name to "The Republic of North Scotland"?

No. There is no region of England calling itself Scotland.

I think more like Mexico changing its name to Texas.
