Another thing to consider with manufacturing is logistics, there are so many things that have to come together to manufacture a single doohicky.

Buying land near a transit hub is expensive so you try to buy land in a rural area, but then how do you get it shipped to you while maintaining reasonable prices so you can stay competitive? Ground transit is fine as long as petrol prices are low, but most manufacturing is putting together other goods, which largely come from other countries.

So you.. start a mine to get whatever you need? Just grab a pickaxe and start digging I guess, otherwise it doesn't matter what you make the prices will be 10x china's because the costs are outrageous.
