Several trillion for both the Amarr Empire and the Gallente Federation. A couple/few trillion for Minmatar Republic (but more Minmatar outside of Republic than in it)

Hundreds of billion for Caldari.

Highsec worlds with city lights on it could be in the billions (fly to the dark side or try to view it in planetview). Worlds without city lights probably in the millions (couple million widely dispersed on lowsec worlds)

Space stations in the hundreds of thousands. Seyllin I (former barren world) had a subterranean population of 500 million, however.

Anyone feel like giving me cites for these? We may do something with population numbers as part of the Immersion Project.

The number of babies born each year must be at least the same or higher than the amount of deaths on planets, in stations, in npc ships and in capsuleer ships or otherwise the population would not grow at all.

Those survivors' rates, I, uh ...

Let's try to leave assumed ship deaths out of the equation of total New Eden population numbers if we can. I'd rather that they didn't affect the total pop. at all, and if they actually do, I am going to sit in a room with some people and shout at them until we can figure out a more sensible average survival rate. I don't see any sense in masses of people signing up for what's basically a career of suicide missions.

It be easy and safe to say eve's population is probably in the qaudillions of humans.

I think that's a little extreme, given the numbers I have provided already. The Gallente, for example, achieved spaceflight around 500-700 years ago upon first contact with their Caldari neighbours. Their homeworld would have a population of 10 billion as a complete assumption. It's already quite a leap to go from billions to trillions, but there would definitely not be enough time to go to quadillions

Again as I pointed out, if 2.8 trillion is the highest voting turnout in the Federation, which is the second largest empire in New Eden, then we're looking at no more than 20 trillion perhaps.

And this is all averages. Bear in mind these include the figures for lowsec worlds, which are likely to have smaller populations than big highsec core worlds like Amarr or Gallente Prime.


All of which means that I reckon the "several trillion" figure being bandied around is a touch optimistic.

Stream of consciousness on the subject of population density:

I wish I knew how many temperate worlds there were per nation, but we can make an educated guess - according to http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Planet there are:

1. 1,115 temperate planets in highsec (12% of all highsec planets)
2. 714 in lowsec (10.3%)
3. 3,129 in nullsec (10.5%)
4. 2,242 in W-space. (10.6%)

focusing just on high and lowsec and the four main nations...

1. Amarr Empire: 484 systems
2. Caldari State: 503
3. Gallente Federation: 507
4. Minmatar Republic: 291

Using the average incidence of temperate worlds (11.15%), we can guess roughly how many of those systems are likely to have a temperate world in them:

1. Amarr: 54
2. Caldari: 56
3. Gallente: 56
4. Minmatar: 32

Include a generous margin of error, obviously.


Now, here's the part where the numbers fall apart for me. because if the Amarr Empire were to have "several trillion" citizens living in it - let's say, for the sake of an argument, three trillion...


3 trillion divided by 54 = 55,555,555,555.56 people per planet.

If the Republic were to have a single trillion citizens, then that's 31.25 billion people per world.

Earth is already getting cosy at a "mere" seven billion.



And this is all averages. Bear in mind these include the figures for lowsec worlds, which are likely to have smaller populations than big highsec core worlds like Amarr or Gallente Prime.

let say if count the same number of Barran and Moons as temperate worlds...
