Mod is punishing you for your misdeeds. :p
But otherwise, in seriousness, it seems paradoxical.

Avg. pop growth per day = approx. 6 mil.
Your nation was founded 302 days ago.
6 x 302 = 1,812
Subtract a little bit for the smaller population growth at the beginning, and your population seems right on track. I see no bug.

Hm... Maybe they cleaned up the pop bug that hit me when I joined, or so, but I had been over 2 bil. pop, then I drop back.

Are you sure you didn't just dream that you had a billion extra population? ...

That's what they probably did:
The famous (and much coveted) 'population bug' is actually the flip side to the 'issues not updating bug': instead of being updated zero times per update, nations with the population bug are updated two times. This means they gain population at twice the rate of other nations, receive twice as many issues as they request, and, if they are UN members, are doubly affected by UN resolutions. When we're sure we've got this bug squished, we'll run a job to scale back everyone's population to where it should have been, so it's only a temporary boost.

Who cares about your population anyway, it's just a number?

Those 1 billion missing Lethislavanians probably care quite a bit.

Just think of it as sending them into exile, because they're not going to be returning. :(

True, I just meant in addition to the usual population increase.
