China has laws that only allow a family to have 1 child. Fairly certain it hasn't worked out very well.... has resulted in many newly born girls being killed by the parents or abandoned, as their culture puts almost all of the honor in boys.
Also, the US encourages families to have more children, with all of the welfare programs and food stamps and assistance programs.
Not very familiar with any other countries laws though. But, this isn't something that could actually work. And as said... it would have to be some kind of United Nations type treaty agreement or world policy that was adopted. Even then, many countries do not have the resources to enforce something like this... the majority of over-populated countries are closer to 3rd world than 1st world.

China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the Philippines are not even in the top100 of Per Capita GDP. Brazil, Russia, and Mexico are over 50. The only countries in the top25 out of the 12 most populated countries are the USA and Japan.

And those 12 countries make up almost 62% of the world's population. So, even with the birthing laws in place, China still has almost 20% of the world's population and over 1.3 billion people.

We should try to promote things that kill people. Such as war, extreme sports, and the death penalty.

That's a real great stance.... I would like to volunteer you to be first in line to enactment of your plan.
edit: inflames.... there are over 190 countries in the UN. basically, any country worth anything is in the UN.
