That means for the poorest regions and those with intensions to build them up instead of exploiting them:
If there are resources someone might want to exploit, arm yourself and practice the use of violence. Then, it is the same strategy used for millennias to settle in other areas empty of owners. What do we have, what do we need, where do we get from what we need, but not have in exchange for what we have, but can spare.
That you repeat and repeat and repeat.
Over generations.

Genesis 1:27-28 New Living Translation (NLT) So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it."
Stay away from those trying to define "govern", please. We will take care. Provos.
...As it does not say govern humans - anywhere.
