A dictatorship can't force fertility... or can it?
Romanian tried this, and it went poorly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decree_770
Yup, one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen was on the subject- fertility rates did go up, but all the kids ended up getting raised by orphanages that abused the shit out of them.
Suicide rates are gonna kick up.
