No Population Growth

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

My population on NS2 has hovered around one million and remains there after two weeks. My GDP has gone from 1 million to 87 million, but my pop hasn't changed. Any idea on how I can change this?

[Goldenloser2241]

Wouldn't that be a good thing though? I mean your GDP is damn high so your economy must be booming Grub.

[The Undaunted]

Not sure why your population hasn't increased... mine has gone up to 4.43 million, but your GDP is way higher than mine

Is there anything about immigration restrictions in NS2 and your country? If so, easing them would help.

Also, according to your National Summary, the poor people in Titanica are starving. So my advice is to make it a national sport to throw bread at poor people and tell them to get real jobs.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Haha. The IMM idea is an interesting one, It might be the reason why. My nation is growing.

[Mukeli]

Same thing is happening to me Grub. I'll work on getting some food to my people and see if the population grows. All of my puppets in NS2 though have grown in population and they were each established after my primary nation.

I disagree with his last statement...pixel poor people are the most complacent of all people. Give them less bread and make them dance by shooting at their feet.

I haven't had any issues where I can give people more food, etc. My GDP is now around 93 million, but my pop is at the bottom of the barrel at 1 million. Hopefully I'll have some issues soon that will change my pop.

[Mukeli]

My population just grew by 400K from yesterday. I think the reason why my population declined is because of action I took on a certain issue. It was about bailing people out and I decided not to so the economy nosedived.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

My economy continues to be strong, but I have yet to have any issues that would seem to increase population and I am still at 1 million. My GDP is 169 million.

There is an issue about the Agriculture sector getting hit bad, as more people are moving to the city. Your choices are
- Make everyone stay where they are until you figure things out
- Build your cities ever upwards
- Give tax incentive to get people to return to the countryside.

I believe this issue strongly affects food supply.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

I had the moving to the city issue today and will encourage people to stay in the rural areas. I also had the issue to allow more immigrants and I will do that as well.

My population should start to grow after these issues go through.

Thanks for the help.

[Estayland]

I think my problem is too much growth. I keep running out of stuff to feed and clothe my citizens.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Hmmm, those choices haven't given immediate results in increasing my population. Maybe it will take a while.

"# 43 minutes ago The agricultural sector of Titanica has experienced sudden growth.
# 43 minutes ago Floods of immigrants have entered Titanica looking for work."

# GDP: 239.51 million
# Population: 1.00 million citizens

[The Undaunted]

hahaha... population doesn't go up because they're all illegal immigrants!

[Anime Daisuki]

My population died out by half over the last few days through starvation

It's bad.

[Estayland]

I keep hearing of a universal food shortage. Do the other worlds have the same problem?

[Mukeli]

I'm not sure. However I read in the developer forum that they're trying to adjust for sudden population growth.

My population is still dying, although at a slower rate.

In other news I discovered my flag reverted to a default flag after my ambassador status ended. I thought I'll be able to keep my flag after shelling out 5 bucks. But it seems they want 5 bucks *every month* for that.

[Mukeli]

I have ambassador status as well and don't think it's worth it at this point. Being able to have a custom flag and some "spies" which display the decisions of other nations doesn't justify $5/month.

[Anime Daisuki]

Yep its a little too pricey. For 5 dollars I can buy a lot of bandwidth these days. An web anime download service I went to, for example, gave me 50 GB of downloads for $5, and that was 2 years ago.

NS2 still needs a lot of work before I will give them my money.

Too true when they can't even guarantee that the site will be available 99.99% of the time like NS1.
