| Message | Our problem is more on the fact that the current law promotes population GROWTH, which may help overpopulate our country. Though we want population to be controlled, we also don't believe we should do it by forcing families to only have 1 or 2 children. As such, the proposal best fits our current needs. |

| Message | Our country is under populated. |
| Date | 20:34:41, June 27, 2011 CET | From | Genuine Progress Alliance | To | Debating the No Government Influence In Population |
| Message | I disagree. The country's population is fine, and by promoting population growth we may be leading our country towards the "baby boom phenomenon" that, in the long run, may lead to overpopulation. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
