The whole Orthodox Christian belt has an average ferility rate of about 1.5, with some down to about 1.2. The entire belt is on a suicide watch. It as a group has the lowest fertility rates on the planet.

This is the Catholic/Protestant world but what is especially interesting is where this would stand once the Arab/Turk/Pakistani populations are taken out, especially in nations such as England, Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy.

Seems that the Old Europe + US + Canada are in worse shape then the Orthodox.
