Reminds me of how Egypt was THE breadbasket for centuries by means of it's strong administative system. But when the bureuacracy came apart, the system collapsed more completely than expected, because farmers had been totally dependent on the the administration for all decisions, let alone logistics.
Of course I may be misremembering, anyone have a citation?
