Following concerns raised in Demographic Sustainability Report 19-Δ, the Council approved the Strategic Population Restoration Program (SPRP), aimed at reversing declining birth rates across the district. The program’s objective was to ensure continuous generational replacement without over-reliance on voluntary reproduction patterns.

  Initial implementation included a recalibration of Partnership Incentive Units, offering increased resource allotments and sleep cycle extensions to participants who enrolled in the Procreation Alignment Registry (PAR). To increase compliance, romantic terminology was removed from all communications. Relationships were officially reclassified as Co-Productivity Agreements.

  When enrollment plateaued, Phase II introduced the Genetic Viability Index (GVI), assigning citizens optimal pairing schedules based on projected reproductive efficiency. Pairings were announced quarterly via Neutral Notification Channels. Personal preferences were deemed statistically unreliable and excised from the algorithm.

  Citizens received Copulation Scheduling Permits (CSPs) indicating approved dates and durations. Emotional intimacy was reclassified as a resource-depleting side effect. Mid-phase audits flagged excessive laughter in several Cohabitation Units, resulting in retraining assignments.

  Artificial gestation pods were introduced in Phase III to improve process control. Individuals unwilling to participate in natural reproduction could contribute biometric data under the Genetic Contribution Compliance Scheme. Contributions were rewarded with additional nutrient credits and reduced workshift requirements.

  Reports of “identity confusion” among children born under the program were submitted but dismissed due to nonstandard emotional phrasing. All children were assigned standardized nursery designations and sorted into Development Cohorts Alpha–Mu.

  The program reached quota ahead of schedule. Birth rates increased 146%. Pair bond formation decreased 93%. Requests to reintegrate traditional parenting models were tabled indefinitely under review for nostalgic bias.

  Status: Functionally successful

  Consent Metrics: Reclassified as Non-Essential

  Population Curve: Stabilized
