By how many does your population grow each day? And does it follow the Demographic Transition Model? If so, at which stage does it start?

It's linear @ about 3-5 million per update.

Is there anyway you can make it grow faster...
For example an issue mentions immagrants ifyou let them in will that count towards a population boost???

Issues do not affect the population variable in any way.

It should follow the DTM. It doesn't make any sense to have a population of say 2 billion growing by 3-5 million every day. Besides, the DTM could be linked to your country's attributes.

Mine grows at approximatly 1 million per update :roll:

I don't think they do. I'm pretty sure bigger nations grow faster...

Mine grows about 6-7 mill an update.. So i asume the growth rate increases as your population inceases..

It grows slowly at first but then eventually stabilises at around 7 million per update.

I expect that it'll be more realistic in NS2.

So it doesn't take into account the fact that most nations will be on stages 4 and 5 of the DTM (ie little population increase or actual population decrease)?

Nope

First your country grows by 1 million a RL day. When it gets to *thinks* *guesses* I think 10 million, it starts going up by 2 million, then after about another RL week it becomes 3 million, then 4 mill and then 5 mill etc etc. Once it gets to somewhere between 70-120 million *I think* then it becomes a linear amount from then on. However, if you have the population bug, it goes up randomly by between 3 and 7 million I think......

I have been trying and trying to find a way to increase my growth it just dosent work no matter what you do :?

i know a way to mak it grow faster, but it does take some work ;)

Starting from the beginning at 5 million population, it starts out in this pattern for the first 20 days:

5-6-7-8-9-10-12-14-16-18-20-23-26-29-32-36-40-45-50-56-62

After that, it goes up randomly between 5 and 7 million per day, at least as far as a billion or so. (My largest nation is 1.005B, so I don't know anything beyond that.) With the population bug, it would *presumably* go up between 10 and 14 million a day.

Yours is right where it should be...
