Stupid Measures: The end of population

It has been a while since we have created a 'Stupid Measures' session here at Urban Demographics Blog. The Economist Magazine has published this chart that shows the years at which national populations will disappear.

This chart is stupid, both for technical reasons and because humankind will be extinct much earlier than that!
