Interesting - stress seems to lead to more babies.

War torn Afganistan is top at 2.4

followed by Maldives threatened by flooding at 1.9

Quiet but lonely Nepal at 1.2

Quiet Sri Lanka (since the tsunami) lowest at 0.8

I was thinking of Afghanistan but wasn't quite sure. Thankyou.

To determine which country among Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives has the highest population growth, you can look for the annual population growth rate of each country and compare them. Here's how you can find this information:

1. Go to a reliable internet search engine like Google.
2. Type in "population growth rate of Nepal" and hit enter. Repeat this step for each country: Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.
3. Look for reliable sources such as government statistics, international organizations (e.g., World Bank, United Nations), or reputable news websites that provide population data.
4. Find the population growth rate (usually given as a percentage), which indicates the rate at which a population is increasing or decreasing over a specific period.
5. Compare the population growth rates of all four countries and identify the highest rate.

By following these steps, you should be able to determine which country has the highest population growth among the options given in the question.
