I like your thinking, but like others, I suspect you're wrong on the economics.
Taking the GDR (East Germany) as a historic example and Cuba as both a current & historic example, it's clear that there are things that a country cannot afford once it is no longer supported by a third party (in these cases the USSR).
If you look at North Korea as a current case in point, it is a country that claims to balance its books, but at the expense of widespread famine & deprivation - while spending crazy amounts on armaments.
No state is an island within itself.
