Bab 141: Russia's Projected Population (by Sheepa)

That being said, there is good reason to believe that Russia will hit 1 billion much, much earlier. First, Russia has extremely aggressive pro-worker and pro-natal policies for the time (which can be further expanded in the future) that make it much more affordable for urban families to have a lot of children. Second, Russia has extremely pro-immigrant policies for the time that have encouraged much of the Old World migrants to settle in Russia. This is likely to rise even more with the Covenant removing borders between the members of the Russosphere. Third, the improvement in medicine and affordable access to health care (as well as other basic resources) means that people are dying even less and living longer. So it is very much possible that we could see Russia, an industrialized nation, have exponential growth. Following the existing exponential trend in green, Russia would hit 1 billion around 1963.
