>bro let's totally just waste shit tons of money to build a near impossible dam to dry up the mediterranian which will only take like 1000 years or so and then being left with salt-flats that won't be farmable for millenia to come or probably even longer.

6. No more trading (roads are expensive).
7. Probably a lot of wars over some salty soil full of gas and/or oil.
8...
