How far does $200 Gs go in Harare?

Things have gotten so bad in Zimbabwe that they are now printing a $200,000 bill -- which at current market rates is worth a mere USD 13. And to add insult to injury, the already plundered country is now facing wage and price controls. Robert Mugabe says he's doing it as another step to prevent his country from being "recolonized." But why would anyone want to take over that country when almost all its natural resources are worthless?

One country normally invades another because it has a bounty of them. Like, when the US took over Iraq for its oil.
