There must be a change in the way that FM2016 handles a nation's population at this moment its hardcoded meaning that we can't change a population of an existing nation or a new nation that you have created
I am sure that there are many of you feel the same way - is there a way we can make the devs change this - if so give your suggestions below please or if you know of a way to change can you let know how

I know at this point this is a nekroing but I feel the same way that there must be a way to increase the population in the game editor like the other stats. The simple reason is the nation population is always changing, sometimes increase or decrease but it is not a constant thing. Also if you create a new nation that is immersion destroying when you cannot determine how much people live in that country. I can sure improve population to cities which does not affects the overall population of the game so that also immersion breaking when you increase a town's population from 1000-5000 into 100000-250000 and the overall population does not changes. The only way what is possible is come programming tool which can read the files of the countries because I am sure it is also a coded data but publicly not showing so maybe there is a way to do it.

Few years ago for the 2015 version I tried to search for it and found 1 person who made it as an editable stat in the game editor but that basically not shown in the game only in the editor while in the game the population remained. He added some sort of extra line of codes to the mix but something was wrong because the game does not recognized it so maybe there are more files what needs to look at and modify in order to make it work.

I now have some mood to modify some leagues in my game but that is annoying I cannot increase the population of the country.
