First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond announced on Tuesday he wants to seperate from Britain, but keep the British pound currency and queen, Reuters reported.

He released a 670-pagedraft plan titled "Scotland's Future: Your Guide to an Independent Scotland " in Glasgow on Tuesday hoping to convince Scots that on Sept. 18 they should vote to end a 306-year union with England.

"We know we have the people, the skills and resources to make Scotland a more successful country. What we need now are the economic tools and powers to build a more competitive, dynamic economy and create more jobs," Salmond told reporters at the launch. "We will win this referendum."

Salmond wants the country to remain in the European Union, but have its own defense force and collect its own taxes. The referendum in September 2014 will allow Scots a "straight yeas-or-no vote" on remaining in the union.

If Scotland residents vote to separate from England, the country's first independent election would be held on May 5, 2016, according to the document.

"We, the people who live here, have the greatest stake in making Scotland a success. With independence we can make Scotland the fairer and more successful country we all know it should be," the report reads. "Being independent means we will have a government that we choose - a government that always puts the people of Scotland first."

Opinion polls shows separatist's ideas are not popular among residents of Scotland. To persuade them, Salmond's Scottish National Party released the draft plan in hopes of winning over many skeptics.

In the report, Salmond promises no tax increases and said Scottish taxes will not be used on nuclear programs. He also said the United Kingdom's nuclear missiles would be removed from Scotland for good.

Scotland's Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon described the document as "the most comprehensive and detailed blueprint ever drawn up for a prospective independent country."

The Scottish Government's report has been long-awaited; it comes coming six years and three months after Salmond first unveiled plans for a referendum on leaving the UK.
