Re: [Space] System Generator
The historical link between economic development (and, particular, the strength of social safety nets and the wide distribution of wealth) and declining birth rates is fairly well established. Its much more likely that the divide between the US and Western Europe on natural population increase is due to the fact that the US has a narrower concentration of wealth than most Western European countries and a weaker social safety net than it is that it is due directly to social pressures from the religious community (now, certainly, a certain segment of the US religious community is closely tied to the political faction that actively works to maintain a narrow concentration of wealth and to keep the social safety net weak, so there is certainly not no link between religion and the comparatively high rate of natural growth.)

Re: [Space] System Generator
I'm actually working on one right now. Currently it just generates all of the stars in the system and their stellar characteristics up through minimum and maximum separation. I'm coding it in Python and it's currently a little over 800 lines long. I haven't worked on it in a while, though. I'm currently working on an article I'm hoping to submit to Pyramid soon.

Re: [Space] System Generator
I wonder if it's possible to get two planets in the liquid water zone?
I think it would require a close binary, and one would be mild and the other one hot/frozen...
