How do you know if the people in Catalonia consider tgemselves Catalonian or Spanish without a referendum?
Conflicts about the belonging of countries or ethnicities and regions to a country are far from unique and in every case you will not have 100% being on on side.
Sure. But saying "this is not complicated" is just wrong. Some situations are not (particularly) complicated, for instance when there's an empire and a bunch of discrete nations whose people speak separate languages and are somewhat agreed about their identities. For example. eastern Europe pre-WWI. This situation is relatively messy by comparison. That's all.
