I'm not sure "colonize" is the right word. That seems to imply that Gondor would want to conquer Nurn and set themseves as its new masters. If that was the case Aragorn would not have freed the slaves in the first place. Presumably, liberated nurn is an independent land which may have fealty to Gondor but would mostly govern itslef (a la Ithilien) what I meant was that as time progressed some Gondorians (or other men of the free nations) might immigrate to Nurn and settle alongside the Nurnians. Aragorn might approve of this, as it would mean that he would have friendly kingdoms on both of Mordor's borders. As time progressed the people of Nurn could slowly spread north, reclaming the rest of Mordor and (assuming it isn't completely blighted) making it habitable again they also might help in bulding roads between Nurn and Gondor/Ithilien so as to allow trade between the two nations (Though since Nurn has the inland sea Nurnnen, I suspect that most trade would be conducted via water.)
