South Korea has entered the chat..

Seriously, it's wild visiting South Korea and having a tour guide jokingly beg people to immigrate and make babies.

Part of this is that South Korea was practically closed to immigration until around 2004 outside of the "usual" workarounds (marrying a local, or significant investment), and so it's become increasingly urgent.

They've liberalised a lot since, but it'll take a long time for them to develop a reputation as somewhere people will think of as a destination to migrate to.
