You're just copying and pasting this comment over and over again. Anybody can verify that by looking at your posting history.

I know, because I saw it before, I was going to argue with you but I saw it was an older comment. So I decided not to necro it.

Since you're posting it fresh, saying a place is independent, only applies if you allow them external trade. Embargoing and isolating a place, is an act of war, it's one of the de facto acts of war.

So if you have a territory that people are not allowed to leave, aren't allowed to trade, aren't allowed any economic activity... We have a word for that, it is a prison.
