Come on... The Faroe Islands aren't net oil or LNG exporter and they do not have a lot of natural resources  does it prevent a modern society, healthy and going fine? Do they need some centralized costly bureaucracy to thrive... no. It is a small community and frankly when I last visited I didn't feel any angst of not having the euro or any hurry to join the euro crisis mess and people I talk to were rather surprised with the recklessness and lazy easy going in Brussels when it comes to banking, business and handling of public finances within the eurozone. When told northern europe is rich, they asked if I meant Scandinavia, I said yes and they said well sir, we love what we do, we do it right and we build, we are very proud of our accomplishments, thank you for overstating it and smiled.
I replied, Feel the same have it great!
I love these people anyway I have some hope you may be able to profit of all the legislation they have adopted as a source of inspiration for the autonomy coming at least.
