More proof that no good deed goes unpunished

The population has to hit zero, and possibly sit there for a turn. What's needed to do that may vary between turn-based and simultaneous mode, and perhaps between the time the method was mentioned some years ago, and the current patch.

Anybody remember the Seinfeld episode where George loses an apartment he wants to a man who was in the Andrea Dorea shipwreck, just because the tenant board feels sorry for the guy? So George decides to tell the story of his life to the tenant board, and gets the apartment on the basis that he is the most unlucky loser who ever lived!

AT, you need to turn this unluckiness weakness into a strength! Get sports teams to pay you to root for their opponents, have Bush pay you to move to France, etc.
