Wait, I'm confused. I thought Germany had negative population growth for the last few years? Did they revise their numbers?
And that isn't really population decline. I though Germany had already lost a few million residents from its peak.
And how can they calculate population as of April 2013? Is it because you are required to register your residence with your town?
