Over time, does your nation's population grow, if so how long does that take?
Thanks in advance. :)

Well, if you last as long as me, you get that much<=====

You get only around a million a day at the start, then it climbs to 5million then to 9ish per day.

Incorrect, issues do not affect population.

Incorrect, issues do not affect population. If that is true why are my cluster nations growing at different rates?

Growth is random.

You might have had the population bug, before it was fixed....

Nah - nations grow from 5-7 million per day, and after a while, nations getting mostly 5 mill updates are much smaller than those which mostly get 7 million at updates. But like LE said, it's random. Nothing you can to to affect it.

So are you saying that when a nation is founded it is randomly assigned a growth rate and once that is set it continues at that growth rate? Are you sure it isn't affected by type of government, level of economy, civil rights, political freedoms, etc.? Know of anyone who's actually tracked this? Qaa, maybe?

No. Every day, an update brings either 5, 6, or 7 million more people to your nation. What I was trying to say is that nations randomly getting more 5 mill updates will be smaller than those which randomly get a higher percentage of 7 mill updates; after a while, this can account for some very large differences in population.

Are you sure it isn't affected by type of government, level of economy, civil rights, political freedoms, etc.? Know of anyone who's actually tracked this? Qaa, maybe? Positive. And I have. Your pop actually starts out growing by 1 million per day, but soon it bumps up to 5-7 million. It's all totally random.

Unfree is correct. Trust me, I can see nationdata and issue codes.

I have three nations founded within 20 minutes of each other, and the population swing is a good 50 million or so (these are 2B+ nations, mind).

Also, I believe the final pop range is 5-9 or 10, not 7.
