Is it normal?

Country: Utopian Republic on WG

Just wanted to know if its normal for my average age and life expectancy to be that close? Based on that trajectory, my country will be doomed!

Just wondering!

No that is not normal at all. Try building hospitals. The hospital itself tends to expand life expectancy . Your going to want around 70 years of life to be a solid life expectancy age to shoot for. Hospital index of 120 is like bare minimum level if your broke or out of hospital professionals. Shoot for 150 depending on your population level. If you can afford to get to 200 without having your monthly profit sink into negative numbers then go for that. If your lower population you can end up getting a ton of people growing each month. You might also want to give your population clean water, found in the transportation index, and maybe roads to drive on and train tracks so the economy doesnt depend entirely on trucks. Then you might want a good education system so you can trian nurses and doctors to build that higher hospital system and run your corporations.

My health rating is at 200 though... And population continues to decline. Been watching it the past month. Education system also near 300. Transportation indexes also near 300.

If anyone could just take a look at the country, much thanks appreciated!

A few quick settings tips:

Health should be around: 120-130 max
Max education should be: 200
All people above 65 should just die off.

I would advise you to lower your settings, it saves money and you don't need them to be any higher. A LOT of old people will die once you lower your health care settings. And that is a good thing. Old people cost a lot of money and don't do anything for your country.

There are situations where you want them to be higher but those are rare.

It will improve.

Many countries without a president slipped into such a condition.
The main reason is very low birth numbers.
we are in a process of improving the population setup in countries without a president.

Birth numbers are expected to improve.
the average age will decline and life expectancy increase.

It will take time.

The population increases much faster in countries owned by full members but it should improve in all countries.

Check the 0-4 years old group.
In most countries, it will grow faster in the coming days.

I gave it 2-3 weeks real time, and if anything, it has worsened. Population continues to die off, despite healthcare and sub 30m population.

Am I doing something wrong?

Free players are limited to a population around 20M, so your pop will just keep declining.

Free members countries have a population that remains under 25 millions.
You have got yourself one with more than 25 millions.

Full member countries grow to about 100 millions depending on some conditions. This happens because birth numbers become much higher.

In your country, average age will decline and life expectancy will increase.
Looking at the population numbers, it is on going now but will take a very long time while the population goes to the 20-24 millions range.
