As our population, debates have arised! Our current population is 23 million, and our islands (San Haven is made up of 116 islands with Various Sizes) is able to hold around 30 Million!

What do we do???

30 Million will take up about 40% of building area! We have dedicated area's for National Parks, Reservations, Aquatic Parks and many different things. But after this there is about 12% of area able to expand onto. However we want to expand our economy not our population!!!

Can we somehow develop different methods for controling the population!!!
In residential areas, we are considering methods such as High-Rise Units and many things like that. They can hold large numbers on such small areas!!!

What are other nations Views on this???

Thanks

We expanded onto a 'parallel' Earth that didn't have any native humans...

The Marxist State's best example of your situation is Red Peace.

We were running desperatly out of room with 500 Million People, so Red Peace weant from a relativley small town, to a huge metropolis.

Red Peace is a very small city with a population 1.5x that of New York City today, how?

Two words:
HIGH
RISES

Level some of your current home and build the tallest apartment complexes you can afford, also, do some exploring and make sure there is no unsetteled islands near you, we didn't find Devil's Island, which now houses millions of people, until our first sattalite was in the air. Yours truely

A former nation of mine made do with mutterings of state secrets, somehow cramming 4 billion people into a city the size of Canberra.
