What infrastructure needs to be replicated "locally" for a country to unplug itself yet still have a functioning Internet simulacrum?

Nothing that they don't already have in place with some configuration adjustments. The Internet is just a lot of interconnected routers.

I'm thinking BGP, DNS, IP subnets allocations and all the low level stuff. Also SSL authorities etc.

I'm sure there's a lot of stuff you'd need to roll, I bet it would make for an interesting article :D
