I really don't know where to put this, so I'm very sorry.

Ok, the question is how you make the economy of a country IN a closed, tight free trade bloc collapse, or at least becomes less dominating than before?
No outside influence is allowed, just from the trade bloc and the country itself.

Since I haven't got any examples of this kind of alliance (except Greece in EU), I'll give you the ASB one: the United States in the Alliance for Democracy in the Draka series.

But the goal itself isn't ASB.
Thanks in advance!
