I see. So you'd known it all along without warning us!

I would think though that exactly because of the ASB's isolation, if ever the situation degenerated within it, importations to alleviate the pressure would be nigh impossible.
The other ASB countries should be much more vulnerable, despite being aided by China. Could it supply another 100-200 million inhabitants? Actually, what is China's current population? The last census was in 1961, so the figures would probably have changed alot since then.
And India would certainly be too big for China to sustain it with its ressources alone. It would be like having to support itself twice.

Population entropy trumps war. Even Afganistan, with it's 30 years of constant warfare, has seen its population increase tremendously. China's fertility rate in the 30s would have been extremely high, around 6 children per woman, and there is no way it could have possibly fallen down to the replacement level. There's just a statistical number of women in age of childbearing, and inevitably, they will have children, despite the odds, and even more so without contraception of any kind available. And after the civil war, which would have arguably affected the population growth somewhat, wouldn't the birth rate gone back to per-war levels? If you look at history, the 20 year-long Chinese civil war didn't have that much of an influence on the country's demographic growth. The war can only kill so many people, and cannot directly affected every single village in every single province. Even if 2-3 million people are killed every year, as was the case, the resulting population increase from a base of, say, 20 million births would still be 17-18 million. Even with infant mortality, the population would still increase by well over 10 million inhabitants. And that in time of war, so in the peacetime you would have to remove the war casualties, the decreased food supply and increased deaths from disease. Wouldn't the country experience accelerated and drastic aging if the population remained at the same level for nearly twenty years? It would be far worse than the effects of the one child policy.

And regarding Afghanistan, I'm responding to sircheesy2' terrorists' attack on my convoy.

Brazil, aware that conflict is imminent, shouts ‘SCREW THIS.” And fire the torpedoes.

The figures for 1961 seem correct. They are about 5-10% lower than the real figures, which would be realistic given the length of the civil war. It was more the population remaining stable from 1961 to 1977 that seemed strange to me. When you think about it, the whole civil war, even 10 years longer than in real probably caused less casualties than the Great Leap forward, at least the highest estimates. Governments are always better at killing their own citizens than foreigners.

Be careful. You never know how much bodybuilding a burqa'd women's been doing. She might crack your bones in two with her thumb for all you know.
