A harsh environment doesn't necessarily mean the country is poor. Think of Australia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Canada... they have some of the best life qualities of our world, yet the weather is horrible. And Australia and Canada were colonies. Finland was invaded several times and actually became independent fairly recently.

I sustain Vacuo suffered an invasion since one of Weiss' cards during the Remnant Game allowed her to take the other player's discarded fleet (that could hint to a resistance move).

As for Sun's thefts, he seems to take fun from breaking rules or doing things simply the unconventional way. Compare his and Neptune's reaction to the Food Fight. The way he arrived to team RWBY's dorm (he could have easily used the door).
