Thanks Arael,

Very interesting.

Economic zones as opposed to national boundaries. Not exactly a new prediction, reminds me of this book.

This is very interesting to me. I am trying to get into this field.
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

It's an interesting field to get in to. The same techniques have been used to model trade and economic development.
