I'm going to swing
past what you suggested, to see what it looks like. If I make the following changes to my initial set up:
Initial Population: 325,000,000 day 0
Population growth:
War+1 day to War+3 years: -15%/year
War+3 to War+5 years: -8%/year
War+5 to War+10 years: -4%/year
Then I get:
Population over time:
War+1 day: 166,562,500 (51.3% of Day 0)
War+3 years: 102,290,195 (31.5% of Day 0)
War+5 years: 86,578,421 (26.6% of Day 0)
War+40 years: 52,164,918 (16.1% of Day 0)
War+150 years: 148,203,077 (45.6% of Day 0)
That represents a 68.7% decrease from day 1 to year 40, with more than half of it just in the first 3 years... and this
still seems like too high a population for the Project to manage, at any point in the process.
