i hope I'm not the only one who finds it weird to see someone complaining about Growth being weak, and then complaining that population doesn't increase without any growth. Wait a minute. Waaiiiit a minute. I have an idea here...
Take some growth scale!
Then your population will increase! Ooo, it's like magic.
EDIT: And if that isn't enough for you, try running a blood-focused nation (Abysia is probably easiest) without any growth. It will rapidly become apparent to you why it's a good thing.
