Monaco gets away with it by being really, really small and really, really, really rich
So can survive buying utilities from elsewhere if you don't need much of them. So, you could probably, I dunno, make a small part of westminster independent and have it work, but you'd have to deport anyone with a personal fortune less than about 3 or 4 million.

Monaco has little tax but then has no government support or facilites, you pay directly and extortionately for absolutely everything from school to rubbish collection as far as I'm aware.

about 20 years ago
California made the decision that it didn't need to have any power generataion to replace its aging powerplants, because they could buy electricity from neighbouring states.

This was fine until the contracts in place expired, and the neighbouring states upped the prices. California couldn't afford to pay (the debts run up then are at least a little bit responsible for the bankrupcy of several Californian towns in recent times as well) and was forced to implement a series of rolling blackouts across major cities at peak periods whilst flinging billions at a rapid program of construction of power generation facilites when they realised what an epic fucking arse they'd made of it. It's only just back under control recently.

Moral of the story. Money isn't enough. Especially when the money comes from about 3 economic areas only. You need a balanced economy with stable basic resource sources, utilities and infrastructure. I think Scottish independence is a fucking idiotic idea, but compared to London being independent? it's the best, safest plan ever.
