Now do one without immigration. Is there even an EU country that has bigger birth rates than it did in 1990?

Which is just another reason why the aversion to immigration on display by such large parts of EU society at the moment is just so freaking dumb and counterproductive.

I agree with you, but you can't just change the demographic makeup of any territory without some resistance from the native population. Push back is to be expected. You can tell Europeans "your people will go extinct without this", the rational response would be to accept it, but people aren't always rational.

Well, let's wait until the Boomers go into retirement and the economy really crashes, due to the lack of manpower. Maybe some people will change their view on immigration then.

Nah, we can just lower their pensions when they aren't in power anymore.

What are they going to do, destroy the planet for profit even more?

Yeah, there are now a total of 20 people living there except the 6 from before.

It wanted to stop Belgium from having all the fun.

Ireland is interesting here. I don’t believe they have as many people immigrating to them as other countries, which indicates this is mostly people not leaving as was widespread until the 00’s.

It’s a combination of immigration and returning emigrants.

According to this map Cyprus and part of Azerbaijan belongs to Turkey. Congratulations, you just started WW3.

And Ireland, and Island, and Norway.

No this map counts cyprus as its own area and thats a pretty progressive thing actually.
