Scotland are the only country that has a chance of carrying on with life as something approaching normal outside of a union with England and that is highly debatable. Wales and Northern Ireland would be financially inviable and have to instigate huge cuts and take huge hits to quality of life.
England really should have its own parliament though, one outside London.

London's alleged wealth is massively distorted by the City and the many firms that have HQs there. In terms of median disposable incomes it gets more debatable as many have relatively little spending power after paying their absurd rents.
