I don't see why anyone will need to bring in basics like milk, bread, cooking oil, soaps etc from other county while there's a high number of unemployed youth within that county unless it's not naturally available. I see many small industries coming up by 2015 that will challenge major industries like the breweries, toothpastes etc. People currently working in these sectors have a great opportunity to set up industries at home. Banks will be laughing all the way as usual.
While some might do well, most will hardly survive in light of competing cheaper products from abroad and current big players who have economies of scale - unless you are suggesting protectionist policies that care not about market forces.
What difference will counties make? ie what has stopped the setting up of such industries in those areas you suggest they will suddenly spring up?
