There's no way to "simply remove everyone."

I went a little overboard there. Sorry about that.

But an impoverished local population living under a repressive local government would make a nice source of low cost labor for the luxury resorts (basically one small step removed from slave labor). Makes the profits in the resorts higher.

You’re right that you can’t simply remove everyone. You instead simply remove everyone that is in any way troublesome. And you don’t need to worry about where to send them. A couple dozen kilometers out into the Mediterranean is more than adequate.

Such is the nature of highly repressive governments.
