P.S. I like the rest of the suggestions, just wanted to clarify my question.
Consider that in order for that to happen there would have to be sufficient capability to force all trafic through given checkpoints.
(Probably not possible, but if it were)

By isolating those areas you are isolating their populations from economic interaction with the rest of the markets.

1- How much of the agricultural production is found in those areas
a: What effect does this have on the rest of the country

2- If you cut off their ability to sell/buy you have just given them incentive to take a job the one place thats left. IE AQ/TB/Etc.

3- They have a loooottt of family outside of their areas
a: How will their families react towards the government.
(I might like living in a safe gated community with all the amenities but if my family couldn't come visit me, or stay with me because their house got flooded I might not be to happy with the community)

Just a couple of more definitive ramblings
