Neither do I. That's why I added the 2nd paragraph.
Careful. I'm in an aggravating mood this morning.
Just this morning?
Incidentally are you following me on twitter?

Correct -- I don't think the precise mix of people as you describe it was taken into consideration. IMHO that would be too fine-grained to be really needed in a game such as this one.Am I right in thinking Vic had size of POP : total population as a fixed ratio? No provision for a shifting proportion of children, working women and retirees?

Yes, I wasn't the one arguing that one sect should have higher growth rates than another sect. I don't think there should be a difference between Protestants and Catholics.Though France, a Catholic country, had a total population growth between 1890 and 1913 of only 3.7% and Germany had a total population growth of 36% in the same period, Italy had a growth of 17%, while Great Britain had 22%, with Austria having 22% as well. While on average the great powers that were protestant had higher population growth from 1890 to 1913, the other catholic great powers didn't have anything near France's abysmal population growth.
There wouldn't be a need for hard-coded differences in population growth if Victoria was so complex as to endogenously model everything needed to account for birth and death rates. However, I rather doubt that Victoria 2 will be capable of accounting for differences in birth control or cultural preferences regarding family size.It just means they aren’t ONLY factors you need to take into consideration. I would say high CON should decrease population growth. Maybe there are other factors too. But what I wouldn't like is hard coded impairment.
My second guess is that most of the French wealth was concentrated in Paris, and rural living conditions being worse than in Germany.
maybe country religion could be a factor in this case also ? As we now in Islam countries it's a common thing to have many children, similiar situation was in catholicism before XX century. Beside, such system would give religion a meaning in the game, cos' in V1 it was in fact useless and meaningless.

Even in predominately Catholic nations, wealth and education was the primary factors for birth rates in Europe in the 1800-1900s.

That's not really a religious issue but rather an economic and education issue as most of the regions in the middle east that have high birth rates are usually the most economically depressed.
As Dubai the more wealthy state (according to the CIA fact book) has 1.5% birthrates and Palestine has 2.225%

Perhaps you should check up some of the more recent fertility rates in Muslim countries. You might be surprised to learn that Iran has a lower fertility rate than the US, or Algeria a lower rate than France.
Don't take it as a reproach. The decrease in fertility rates in many Muslim countries has been rather recent and very drastic.

Are you talking about actual birth rates/death rates or total population growth? Cuz I know the US got over 8 million Mexican immigrants in the past decade and I assume France is in a similar situation with muslim immigrants. Plus I'm sure many muslims are emigrating FROM Algeria TO France. If you're talking about birth rate - death rate and not including immigration then you can ignore my post but if you aren't then the numbers are likely to be way off.
