Isn't a clearance one of the rules?


Having a clearance in CONTROLLED AIRSPACE is one of the rules.
All the other ones: pilot qualifications, aircraft equipment,
minimum altitudes, alternates, fuel reserves, etc... still apply.

Uncontrolled airspace only eliminates the need for a clearance,
not the bulk of the IFR rules.
