The big question for me is:

Does that mean no new births, or does that mean that for every live birth a random person immediately and unexpectedly dies?

If you only stop births people still die, so probably the second one

This can be as dark or not dark as you please, but I'd recommend a trigger warning for those who have personal traumas. Also seems like being the membership owner could be a fun direction. Hope you enjoy, it seems different than typical at least.

Though there's theories about the population count plateauing soon, currently humans overall still mostly have an overpopulation problem, so I'd imagine a lot of people would say "awesome!" and continue to go on their lives exploiting the population cap. Either as a freebie fix to actual overpopulation, or people best poised to profit in a zero-sum game (assuming the cap applies at a uniform rate across everyone, countries with poorer healthcare and higher mortality rates would start to be edged out by countries with better health care).
