Demographic Assimilation: Migratory Replacement

ID Name
T0117.001 Migratory Replacement
T0117.002 Encouragement of Mixed Marriages

As part of demographic assimilation, aggressors may carry out large-scale, state-sponsored resettlement of loyal citizens from the metropole to the territories of the colonized society, while simultaneously encouraging or coercing the local population to emigrate. Artificially populating the region with colonists changes the electoral, cultural, and linguistic balance, providing a reliable base of social support for the occupation regime.
