An example given was that Mecklenburg starts out in the Prussian market (modelling the historical Zollverein Customs Union), which may allow them to build luxury furniture to meet the demands of the wealthy Prussian elite. But if they leave that market to form their own, their own elites may not have enough money to afford those luxury goods, and their economy will suffer unless they can set up trade deals to find buyers abroad or join a different, larger market.
举一个例子,梅克伦堡开始进入普鲁士市场(模仿历史悠久的Zollverein关税同盟),这可能使他们能够制造豪华家具以满足富裕的普鲁士精英的需求。但是,如果他们离开这个市场来形成自己的市场,他们自己的精英阶层可能没有足够的钱来负担这些奢侈品,除非他们能够建立贸易协议以寻找海外买家或加入另一个更大的市场,否则他们的经济将受到影响。
