Frankly I'm not sure that creating a completely independent null is something CCP wants or should want, any more than high-sec miners should be able to exist without the mineral demands of low and null. I have to wonder if asking CCP would get an answer of "working as intended". I know comparisons to real life are often suspect, but if the economy is to work anything like a real one, trade between regions/nations is desirable, not something to be gotten rid of.

I remember CCP's nullsec whiteboard had "99% self-sufficient by volume" on it under 'industry'. We can use that to determine intention, I think :D I'm guessing volume doesn't really refer to an ingame metric but it's certainly seperate from ISK value

Given that, I stand corrected. Of course according to that, two giant coalitions shouldn't control the vast majority of null, either. "Small Holdings"?!

Ah, it's a plan, for the future, not the present state

I think the huge coalitions are a result of the current system more than anything else vOv
