MERCENARY TROOPS ROLL INTO GHAM
Over the past several hours, various mercenary groups have begun pouring into cities across the island of Gham. In the leadup to the election of 12 term President Jean Dilman, this action has already garnered criticism from the international community. When reached out to for comment, Dilman, and his party, the Gham Revolutionary Party, had nothing to say.

Outskirts of Gham City, 0500 hours
A small boy is walking through the streets, clothed only by a soccer jersey and a pair of worn out sandals. He seems to be searching for something in the dusty alleyways between rundown shacks. In the distance, the barking of dogs can be heard and the one or two bullets being fired. Rien d'extraordinaire the boy thinks to himself, nothing out of the ordinary. As he bends over to pick up another handful of sand to sift through, an engine is heard, racing through the streets. Before he can jump to the side, the boys bones are shattered by the front end of an Armored Personnel Carrier. The APC, containing a group of punishingly strong looking men, hardly stops to see what has happened, before racing forward. A mother peers through the window of her hovel, and begins weeping. As she runs out into the street, the blood begins to cake itself on the torso of the boy's dark body. She holds his hand as the life seeps from him, and cries out into the night.

Gham City High School, 0800 hours
Men clad in black fatigues have surrounded the high school polling station and begin to march forward. Inside, a three-man observer committee from a now distant NGO cower in fear, realizing that this year isn't the year for democracy in Gham. As boxes are stuffed with pre-printed ballots, the three-man-committee are bound and gagged before being loaded into a toyota and hauled off to an unknown location.

I can understand your concern with having a highly populated nation in the region. It seems as though people on the internet are generally fond of equating large populations to large amount of power, and this is forgivable as the world could appear that way at a glance. However, I understand that a higher population, especially for a developing country like the one I have presented above, is often a greater inhibitor than it is a benefit. I don't plan on using a large population to bend my neighbors to my will, rather, the idea is that the country is somewhat powerful but is forced to focus primarily internally due to the many different ethnic, tribal, and linguistic groups within the Hegemony. These problems are only made worse by a very visible rich-poor divide, the economic strength of the minority residing in cities compared to the destitute state of the rural areas where much of the population resides.
However, I still see your point and so I'd like to propose a compromise. Could we agree to lowering the population by fifty million rather than a hundred? I think this would go a long way towards bringing me closer to regional average population without too significantly curtailing my nation concept. I'll lay out the effects of those changes to save you from having to perform the calculations yourself. If I maintained my current GDP per capita of $15,000 that would result in a new GDP of $2.175 trillion and a population of 145,000,000. Furthermore, this would reduce the military size to about 1,000,000 (for the sake of an even number), which would be split between 450,000 active and another 550,000 reserves. Would something like this be more acceptable?
Also, would you be so willing to provide for me a writing prompt?
