"Germany imported 46.7.8%, exported 39.7.1% of its GDP." Check again elmat. You have the figures reversed.

Your post does not make sense. When a company in Rio de Janeiro sends a product to Brasilia, 950km away, you call it a "closed economy". When a company in Düsseldorf (Ruhrgebiet) sends a product to Paris, 450km away, within the Euro zone, it's "exports". When I do some Christmas shopping by car in Lübeck, 200km from my home, it's exports from Germany to Denmark. If you notice, most of Germany's exports about selling to another party, which you can visit by car in a one-day trip without booking a hotel for the night. I your post really makes sense, it can only be understood this way: In Brazil, there is no significant trade between the different parts of the country. That explains why you think there is a big potential for improvement :-)
