Dominion Population and Demographics

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

The census work done by Dominion authorities is messy at best and sloppy at worst. Hundreds of bodies over dozens of planets and colonies, responsible for keeping count of billions of individuals, some of which actively hide from said authorities and some of which are constantly moving about.

Here's a 3,350 AdF (~18,000 CE) rundown of the latest counts ranked by species:

1. Ygiv, about 120 billion - too many to count.
2. Chelok, 90 ± 20 billion - might be closer to 100bi with agriworlds.
3. Hoku, 65 ± 10 billion - might be closer to 80bi with agriworlds.
4. Nan-Nan, 18 billion - ~70% planetbound to their homesystem.
5. Arrene, 7.8 ± 0.01 billion - all accounted for.
6. Saffi, officially around 3 billion - many unaccounted for living abroad.
7. Qire, no census given.

Total population: ~330 billion sophons.

Despite its vast stellar volume, most of the Dominion's population is concentrated around a handful of heavily developed worlds and agricultural colonies - 49 developed planetary population centers, from which 29 can be found under control of the Pancalestia, the Chelok domain.

This means that on average, there are ~1,200 "unclaimed" star systems for every inhabited world within reach.
