Divided States of America: Robotech Universe

The human population in 2044, after 3 space wars that almost annihilated mankind (in 2012 there were a total of 700 million humans and 125 million Zentraedi assimilated, alive, not counting the rebellious Zentredi) has managed to stay at certain levels Thanks to severe policies, more or less radical, on the part of all the leading sectors while they had the possibility to do so.

About 37% of the original human survivors remained on Earth under the jurisdiction of the United Government, following the exodus of people in the Colonization fleets between 2013 and 2022, when the dictatorial regime Prohibited emigration to space. This population managed to maintain an annual growth rate of 4%, similar to the countries with the highest growth rate at the beginning of the 21st century, through a series of policies that included: a policy of full paid employment (Chronic shortage of labor during the entire period of wars made it relatively easy to get paid work), zero infant mortality policy (with strict government controls on it), assured birth policy (abortion penalty, very generous Subsidies for children kept, and important subsidies of 15,000 to 25,000 credits only for carrying a full-term pregnancy by giving the child in adoption) adoption policy (the bureaucracy of adoption is simplified, giving the same child allowances; Raised with the utmost care by volunteers). The United Government banned more extreme measures since they were related to the technology of the Ancestors, and it was thought that making this an everyday thing would end up turning humanity into something different from what it was, that it was intended to preserve. During the time of the Invid invasion (2031-2044) the Earth generally lost almost 65% of its population, and due to the high mortality average growth fell to 1% in addition to the destruction of its only two governments: Government United Kingdom and EBSIS. However, when the Earth was liberated in 2044, the former territories of the EBSIS and its inhabitants (representing at least one-third of the population) were no longer grouped separately and the New United Land Government nucleated all territories, Compensating a little for the enormous losses at the numerical level, to which were added the almost 80 million people who lived in the Colonies of the UN Spacy and returned to Earth after the departure of Invid, and despite the threat of war With Haydon, contributing 22% to that total number.

UN Spacy: 1882 million inhabitants spread over 30 main planets and 50 secondary or minor colonies in 2044. About 34% of the original survivors of the earth, in addition to 65% of the assimilated Zentraedi, set out to colonize new worlds and conformed An alliance of planets under the authority of the UN Spacy between 2013 and 2022, and although in that year emigration from Earth was banned, colonization continued in smaller numbers, sometimes from planets already colonized. The policies in the case of the UN Spacy were more extreme, practically declaring humanity endangered species. In communities ruled by the UN Spacy and eventually on the planets colonized by them the objective was until 2030 to maintain a 10% annual growth rate, brutally high. To achieve this, all the measures that were implemented on Earth were taken, and some more, rather more radical. These consisted of generalized in-vitro fertilization and assisted fertilization policies, insured embryo development policies (subsidies of 1,000 to 10,000 credits for delivering a 6-week abortion-age embryo, which was extracted alive with Ancestral technology and developed in a House Of incubation zentraedi, then offered to the mother or her family or given in adoption, with policy of orphanages similar to the terrestrial), cellular treatments with ancestral technology (macronizacion) to extend the female reproductive age, and when everything failed, embryos manufactured in Vitro from zero in zentraedis cloning chambers until the 10% annual quota is completed. In 2030 it was decided that humanity was out of danger and the latter custom was abandoned, but all other policies remained in force and continue to this day.

SISI: 813 million inhabitants spread over 8 main planets (275 million on Mars) and 12 secondary or minor colonies. The Soviets originally constituted 29 per cent of the survivors, but were joined by large amounts of Zentraedi, especially after the policies of extermination carried out by the United Land Government between 2020 and 2023. Their policy was similar to that of The UN Spacy in terms of population, using the same range of extreme methods, but with even fewer ethical obstacles to sustaining growth policy. The population suffered a major setback when Invid destroyed capital of the EBSIS (territories they owned on Earth) in 2031 and became the SISI (Socialist International of Independent Systems, less centralized), as they lost almost 40% Its inhabitants among those who died in the war against the Invid and those that remained inhabiting the territories in the Earth, because after 2044 these territories were reorganized under the United Government. Even so the population of the Communist Block continues to rise.

An important fact to keep in mind is that the entire human population is extremely young. Due to the hecatonbe of 2012 and subsequent wars, those over 32 represent only about 20% lucky of the total population of all planets, whether descendants of humans or of Zentraedi assimilated. In addition, macronisation, banned on Earth but allowed freely on all other planets, has the side effect (even if only once) of the permanent freezing of the cellular aging process (even some people, when they are micronized again, see much more Young people than before), allowing older people to stay active without problems (those subjected to this process do not become immortal, since their bodies, which now have the same cellular conditions as those of the Zentraedi, collapse in A moment of its existence, but without showing signs of aging to age, and being this moment unpredictable can happen at 100 years or literally after hundreds of millennia). This adds to the fact that the great youth of the population and the huge, well-paid demand for labor results in young people entering adult work life earlier than before, usually between the ages of 15 and 16 but on occasions Even earlier, although school and military academy times remain mostly the same as always, resulting in practically the only passive population are only the sick and crippled.
