When Virginia left the Union, its western counties chose to remain in the Union and did. Did you sleep through Virginia History class?
Those California counties that wish to secede may do so. Those that do not may remain in the Union. The citizens of each county will make the decision.
And BTW, the Monroe Doctrine is still in effect. So those that do secede may not come under the control of any other nation.
