[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gurgeh: [QB] Just a quick note on JK's first post. I just flicked through the thread, but I don't think anyone else brought it up: "The United Federation of Planets consists of 150 member worlds, plus colonies, et al. Assuming that each member world has a population of 1 billion, and then further assuming that Starfleet makes up say 1% of the Federation Population (not an unreasonable assumption considering that from all appearances, Starfleet is the equivilant of the entire Federal gov't and runs EVERYTHING), then Starfleet has about 150 billion people in it." 1% of 150 billion is 1.5 billion. BTW, I would have thought there would be more than 1 billion per planet. I know our current population of ~6 billion is more than the ecosystem can realistically cope with in the long term, but I think 2-3 billion would be more realistic, personally. [/QB][/QUOTE]
