nono, no helping the 3rd wold countries now, starvation is the best method for population control. Black&White thought me that once you're out of food and you have too many citizens you have to either let them starve or sacrifice them to boost your mana (and get evil gah). But then again, it seems they are too dumb to not get a bazillion of children. (More food (1) -> more people -> more food needed -> (1) )
