Zero downsides. This is how we ran South Africa for 40 years.
Strongest economy on the continent for decades. Higher living standards than even some European countries. Clean cities. Zero crime. National pride. Our currency was stronger than the US dollar at one point. And every sanction, every embargo, every limp dick scheme Henry Kissinger and the UN tried to pull only made us stronger.
Our downfall was our compassion. “We gotta change these laws. It’s time to forgive and forget. All people are basically good deep down…”
Blah blah fuckin blah.
Now my people spend their nights in the dark with no electricity or being raped and murdered on their farms.

Eh, there were tribes in the area when the Dutch rolled up. The bushpeople and the Xhosa were kickin' around across the region. The thing that matters is that the population density was very low until the Dutch do what the dutch and farmed a metric fuck-tonne of food on terrain that isn't supposed to be farmable.
Ocean in the way? The Dutch can farm it.
Desert? The Dutch can farm on that too.
No Atmosphere? Send the Dutch.
Yeah, the bantu all came down from central Africa after the Boers built a functional nation out of a wasteland where only small scattered groups of san bushmen used to live.
