Okay, so, first of all I don't want this thread to be a series of posts about how vile the institution of colonialism is. We all know this, and I don't think I should have to say that this is purely hypothetical and by no means "wish-fulfilment".

That said, we also all know that the African colonies were by and large complete money sinks for the European nations that ruled them. My question is, how can we make the African colonies more profitable? How can they be exploited more thoroughly and efficiently? It can be as nasty as you like towards the natives. I'm not trying to build a utopia. What I'm looking for is an Africa where the colonial empires could be looked at later and said to be actually profitable.

Are there any PODs which could do this, or is it more of a general over-all movement that would need to take place?
