That, actually, is what every nation (not necessarily "country") should do.
Nations within countries should also do this.
Nations within countries who don't do this are suicidal.
The "overpopulation" meme is long dead. It was never actually accurate (true), but that's another issue.
Those who choose "comfortable suicide" will get what they want.
Who do you suppose I'm talking about?
Liberals?
Quite so, and many "conservatives" as well, but the distinguishing characteristics of the suicidal folks are one-party-state elitists who don't understand the difference between "nations" and "countries".
..'though adequately comfortable ignoramuses, holding only very shallow and nebulous "political principles", also known as "comfy-slaves of the elite", are also of a similar suicidal bent as they are connected at the hip with their elitist masters (usually striving to become lesser-masters themselves).
Countries composed of multiple nations (which used to be called "empires") always have continual competition occurring between their internal nations along the fault-line of THE MOST POTENT differentiating HEARTFELT characteristic defining "difference" in that imperial culture.
I personally love empires during their heydays, as they "elevate" what "us" means, and I love variation and novelty (being a massive novelty addict), but all empires eventually fracture and their constituents war with each other, and new countries and empires develop, etcetera etcetera etcetera.
It's not "nationalism", or "globalism", or "internationalism" that is the "awfulness causing mistake" that makes life "less comfortable". It's the empire's failure to keep it's national populations INVESTED in remaining an empire.
It's also not authoritarianism that is intrinsically a bad thing.
Any "governing technique" that provides incentives for nations to divest themselves of motivation to remain united in empire with their "neighboring" nations is terminally flawed.
Is there a technique free of this flaw? We obviously haven't found one yet.
Nature's way of hinting at the "perfect governing technique" is in it's "national frustration correction system", which is the Generational Dynamics Cyclical Pulsation of Awesome Awfulness™ process.
...eventually we'll either take the hint, and "get over it", or not and remain having our "fun" in our little tide pool until it dries up (or floods).
