  I could be remembering things incorrectly. It's essentially geopolitical - they're far from the Ottomon's economic core, and don't have free capital from navigable rivers through arable land (like the Danube gives the Balkans). I unfortunately don't remember any sources for this, I just lifted the analogy.
