The Countries: Forget it, Burkina Faso, Michigan is still the worst.

They need brats to work for their Olds.

Here's the thing, Japan. Keep on shrinking. The mass populations of the 20th century were needed for factories and armies. They are not needed anymore. There is no reason to have billions of useless, anonymous, teaming masses whose entire existence is laboring or consuming to keep the ruling class wealthy, while they amuse themselves to death as self-medication for their toast buttering ennui.

Ride this out, return to your natural human population of 35M, and be a highly automated, educated, low carbon footprint paradise. The swelling was always a pathology. Lance it.

The optimal global population is about 500 million. Lop off the bottom 93.75%.

If only there were some instrument which could detect sources of radioactivity.

Apparently the capsule is only 8 mm long and 6 mm wide. I don't know enough about how much radiation it may be emitting but I would imagine the capsule is also designed to minimize radiation emission. So going along the 900 mile route with a geiger counter may not easily detect it.

Edit: they are out there with radiation detection devices, metal detectors, and other tools trying to find it. Going along the GPS tracker route of the truck and currently focused on populated areas. The big concern is that, due to the very small size of the capsule, if it fell out on the road, it could have very easily become lodged in another vehicles tire and could be God knows where by now.

Saw a fun projection which assumed the standard population growth / decline model in developed countries over the last 300 years, extended throughout the world over the next 200 years and with respect to historical lagging effects. The all-time largest city in world history would be Kinshasa-Brazzaville which, at the high point of its growth in a prosperous and educated economy like that currently experienced by the West, reached 136 million people before starting to fall around 2185.

The NYC SMSA is about 21M right now, so, imagine 6 New Yorks, with 1/3rd the current population of the US, as a single contiguous city.

No other city topped 100M (Lagos reached about 90M in 2100). I guess Kinshasa-Brazzaville is special because it essentially has no geographic limits on growth and an exceptionally good position to become a market attractor and the dominant city of a stable and prosperous Africa, assuming continent-wide rule of law and sane economics.

That close to the equator and it would boom like that? I would think global warming would 86 them long before they top out.

We are going to adapt to become lizard people to survive the heat.

The Reptilians are trying to save us.

The radioactive capsule in Australia has been found and recovered. It was found outside of a mining town not far from the mine itself about 6 feet off the side of the road. A truck with radiation detection equipment detected it and then handheld equipment was used to actually find it.
 
Winning was easy, young man. Governing's harder.

“We had a great degree of freedom about where to go, where to stay, and whether to participate in the war,” he said. “These days, you have to go to the office before 8am and stay there till 4pm. “If you don’t go, you’re considered absent, and [the wage for] that day is cut from your salary.”
