This is obviously true when we are talking about Low Tech planets who has yet
to organize relatively cheap intra-system spacetravel, but I doubt that
*any* HighTech planet with a substancial population can survive on its own
for more than a few years without drawing upon the (in the most cases
extremely large) resources of their system.
