Stagnating or slightly shrinking, unless immigration explodes.

Wikipedia wrote:The chewing gum ban in Singapore was enacted in 1992 and revised in 2004 and 2010[1]. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore. Since 2004, only chewing gum of therapeutic value is allowed into Singapore following the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USS-FTA).
A common misconception among citizens is that personal use of chewing gum is allowed into Singapore. However, according to the set of Regulations, "importing" means to "bring or cause to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore ..." any goods, even if they are not for purposes of trade. The set of Regulations also does not make any provisions for personal use of quantities to be brought into Singapore. Therefore, bringing chewing gum into Singapore, even small quantities for whatever purpose, is prohibited.[2]

Therefore, assuming this stays steady (ridiculous assumption for 100 years). Our population would be 310x1.0097^100, or 814 million people. Nearly half of the growth rate is made up by immigration (i.e. w/o immigration, we'd only have a 0.545% growth rate). If we were to cut off immigration chances are the birth rate would decline as well, simply taking out immigration, the forecast would be something like 530 million people.

Some people really don't like gum? Also lots of people love living in Singapore, I've heard its not too bad.
In the U.K at the moment the population is still rising, which is a bad thing.
It's putting a strain on our infrastructure and especially our NHS with the rising population.

Isn't that Singapore's forecast? Noticed the thousands listed there, and the UK surely has much more people in one age area than 500,000.....

(note: that's the in-character population, the main page of my nation says 600 million or something, but I don't believe that would fit in a small and rocky country like Andorianus. So instead, I pretend we only have 41 million since that's more realistic.) Because of the muti-cultural background of Andorianus, we do not expect this number to rise, nor to fall. So in say, 30 years, we are expecting the number to slightly rise to 46 million citzens.
