Catalonia

Catalonia is an affluent region of northeastern Spain. Pro-separatist parties are currently vying for independence from Spain.

Spain sacked Catalan leaders and called a snap election after a unilateral declaration of independence in October. The people of Catalonia are going to the polls on December 21.
