Would you believe that we are the only country in the world that has a smaller population than the1800s. Considering all the casualties other nations suffered during the wars , we should have at least 10 million. Reason we don’t is because our country has been haemorrhaging people since then. 50 years ago we had a little more than 3 million.

Yes , and hopefully no emigration. That’s what destroys a country. Croatia has lost a million citizens in the last 15 years.
