20 billion people you have to find space for. Space for your "pylons," mining enough of whatever this crystal is that you use to avoid having to feed your people, getting enough resources to grow these crystals if you do that instead, enough money to keep your people at an appropriate level of happiness, enough space for these people to live...

You put literally no thought into this, didn't you?

(Furthermore, there's still the issue of taxation. If you rely on exports and import tariffs, you're going to saturate the market with whatever goods you're exporting, and your tariffs will end up being so high nobody will export to you. Again: You put literally no thought into this, didn't you?)
