A great country just needs a government that doesn't actively hate their own citizens or get in the way of success.

In the case of Japan, I've never heard of any high level interference. In fact, the opposite exists. The Japanese government is constantly increasing the amount of money you can get for having a baby.

Honestly, who cares about the incels who can't get a girlfriend? Just be a chad and retire early with 8 kids under your belt.

If the Japanese government actually wanted higher tfr they'd start making serious interventions into school/work culture and make it easier for people to actually socialize and meet potential partners. 1 million yen for moving out of Tokyo is a great start in spirit but that's not nearly enough money to cover for the lack of job opportunities, social issues, etc. It's only 7K USD after all.

No, a great country needs way more than that.
