Suppose a gated community of millionaires declares independance unanimously to stop paying taxes. Would that be legitamate? Or, let's say, Alberta decides that they don't want to respect canadian environmental laws anymore, to make oil production cheaper.

Yes, I think they should be able to declare their independence and have it respected. Of course doing it purely for tax reasons isn't likely to work since the country they left could just impose large import/export taxes on them since they'd still almost certainly be dependent on using them for... pretty much everything.

Isn't that kinda the scenario now for them? It's my understanding that the Spainish welfare state is largely dependant on people from Catalan.
