The future of Europe

[Erax]

Why have we gone from the greatest power to a continent with shrinking population?

Population growth rates. Disturbs me, alot.

[King Edward III]

That legend looks wrong.

[Erax]

What do you mean?

[Giorgos]

Why does it look wrong King?

The percentages - instead of being on/beside a colour, they are on the borders. There are only 4 percentages, but 5 colours.

We are of one mind.

[6th Vigil]

Is this where we answer with certain diseases and social problems or where we blame other countries for the European empires having collapsed.

[Perkele]

So we should make more babies? Sounds good to me.

Actually this year in Poland the number of births finally is higher than the number of deaths and most likely it will be better in the next years.

[The White Knight]

Personally, there are enough people in the world already.

[Kanaric]

Personally, there are enough people in the world already.

I tend to agree.
It would actually be better if these growth rates hit other areas, such as africa and asia.

Which one is more powerful? We know the answer.

Well if its not China already its only a matter of time before it is.

If they wanted to they could conquer the entire region and we wouldn't be able to do anything aside from nuking them.

If a million Chinese invaded korea, again, could we really do anything? Last time we had a hard enough them when they had 1 gun per every 5 men....

Money rules the world.. thats how it is. And USA has plenty of it and nice fancy techno-thingies. In future China can go before USA, but not yet.

What is wrong with Not being the greatest power ? What is wrong with a declining birth rate?

I see no problem here.

Europe to be great needs peace and properity; a formula only attained through the greatness of it's people. What shall thery become? Europe will go the way of it's people. A society is only as good as the minds that makes up said society. To the garbadge bin of history or set out on a new course of European Greatness. That cross road , for mankind, is near at hand!

Ladies and gentlemen, don't get overexcited! Less population = less power.

[HansDuet]

Less population = less power.

Wrong.
USA, what about 300 million people.
China, about circa 1 billion
Which one is more powerful? We know the answer.

Map is outdated - it doesn't even include the modern state boundaries of Europe.

[Erax]

Oh? Well, it's from wikipedia.
Ferrets, please enligthen us.

Huh? I don't see anything wrong with them.

Bur for those of you who aren't concerned, it's bad to have a declining birth rate. Who's gonna feed all the old people? We need young people to work and pay taxes to do that. Obviously we're lacking them. Hell is gonna break loose when those born during the 50s and 60s baby booms retire.

Uih Ukraine is in for some hard times.

Because the Turks and Irish are the only ones breeding?

And Serbs. But one of them isn't European, one is full of neanderthals (apparently) and one isn't even in the EU.

Poor geography then.
