 Of course, there will also be smaller worlds
 and also those which have
 other factors then
 merely economic ones restricting their trade.

The ability to explore almost unlimited local-system vagaries is what made the TU *THE*PLACE*TO*BE* for me.

I imagine there could even be worlds that 'traders avoid due to getting 'dinged' repeatedly w/ fines &/or confiscation for seemingly innocuous items.

About 10-15 years ago I watched a show on PBS in which various western-world expats living in Saudi Arabia were interviewed.
One of them, an American, I believe, said he got 'busted' for trying to bring in a porno video.
After they took him to a back room, a customs agent slapped down a vhs containing episodes of the old (late-70's) TV series 'Love Boat'.
When he asked where the porn was, they said see all these women walking around the pool deck wearing bikinis?
Well that's PORN!
