[MCU] How did The Sovereign handle The Snap and The Blip five years later?

Given their claims of a perfect 1:1 balance of actual and needed population, plus the seeming absence of Adam Warlock on the galactic scene, probably badly. They have no redundancy in any element of their society, and their use of telepresence for their drone fleet instead of AI suggests that they can't readily automate the now unfilled roles. The conversation between the High Priestess and Star Lord in GotG2 suggests that single digit losses would be enough to cause trouble; a 50% loss would probably be cataclysmic.

And assuming they survive, crash grow a replacement generation of citizens, and get things back on the rails, the Blip shows up. Now they have 50% surplus population, and probably don't have the logistics in place to house and feed these people. Not to mention the sociological shockwaves caused by a mass number of people in a world that prides itself in every single person having a place and a role being *redundant*. Deciding who gets primacy, the blipped back originals or the replacement citizens, could become the defining conflict in their history.
