Aggressors may establish a complete monopoly over financial flows, taxes, and trade operations in the seized territories. Placing the region's economy under the colonizer's manual control allows it to redirect all collected funds into its own treasury, deprive the Indigenous people of economic independence, and rigidly tie their livelihood to the metropole. This phenomenon manifested most vividly in the USSR, where all aspects of the economy were subordinated to the state, and all legal economic activity, up until the last few years of Soviet rule, was planned and regulated by the USSR's Gosplan from Moscow.

| C1141 | Consolidation in Chechnya: Bribery of Elders, Economic Control, and Setting Neighbors against One Another (1809-1811) |
The Russian Empire funneled the Nokhchi's supply of grain and salt through trading points under its control, making vitally important goods dependent on its administration. The sale of grain and salt to the Chechens was permitted only through barter yards under quarantine, established «for the peaceful Chechens in Naur… for the mountain Chechens in Lashchurin», with a duty paid to the treasury and disputes adjudicated through an imperial pristav (overseer)[1][2]. |
| C1150 | Deception and Forcible Detention of Beibulat Taimiev by Paskevich, Splitting Chechnya into Factions, and Coercion into an Oath of Allegiance (1828-1829) |
By the regulation of August 2, 1829, Commander-in-Chief Paskevich locked the Chechens' access to trade onto a commissar appointed by the empire: travel to imperial territory was permitted only with tickets (written passes) — "To him is also granted the right to issue tickets to the said Chechens for travel into our domains on trade business"[3]. In practice, the pass system was supplemented by arbitrariness: Chechen society wrote to Paskevich on November 21, 1829 that Engelhardt and Khasai-Musa "order their subordinates to place under arrest all those Chechens who come to them with tickets from Shahbaz," while those obedient to Khasai-Musa act so "that we may thereby be deprived of the means of sustenance"[3]. |
