Nations
Where does a worker go when an event makes you lose it, or the population track has no free space?
The rulebook's taking and returning section says a forced return with no free slot goes on top, and the designer confirmed it.

It goes back onto your population track, on either side. If the track has no free slot, it sits on top, and it is the first worker taken the next time you grow. It has no upkeep until taken. Black Death's printed text was corrected by errata to say the worker returns to the track.
