I like the ideas, but would need to be tweaked a little to fit into Skyrim. Becoming an independent city-state could be an interesting concept, but there would need to be some sort of harsh penelties for it. Maybe some of your citizens would leave because they don't like the idea, Falkreath may try to take back the city in fequent attacks, maybe Whiterun might even attack you now that they know they won't get in trouble with Falkreath. All this violence causes less travels and hurts trading, thus causing economic decline...but this may be getting too advance for Skyrim.

Also don't forget you are part of Falkreath Hold, thus you will likely run into some issues when siding against Falkreath's alliances.
