I'd like to request adding lend leasing for resources, or trade for resources directly under control.
My reasons as follows.
1) Close economy for minors mean that they're unable to trade any resources outwards, making it entirely pointless whereas controlling all resources also means being able to ship out whatever you choose. Against the AI this means there is only one recourse of conquering the territory to get at the resources and nothing else you can do if they're in your faction and screwing you over.
2) Countries not using resources should have the option of trading the use of resources to countries that are able to, perhaps at political power cost or large convoy costs. Again this means closed economy has some use since it confers control rather than removing trade as an option entirely.
Currently there seems to be no reason why axis would ever go closed economy (maximize resource trading via open economy) and Allies will almost always close their economies to starve the Axis as soon as possible, which seems kind of opposite to history.
@podcat If you could review this I would appreciate your thoughts on whether it's possible.
