World Stats 01March2026

Most stats shown here are per country. I'll explicitly state when they are per player/empire.
Where possible I tried to make them comparable to the same ones in the 2008 thread.

There are only 356 player countries today, as opposed to the 1705 player countries on August 2008.

This table shows there are few players with more than 1 country - 41, as a matter of fact.

In total there are 211 players in KB today. Unfortunately, I didn't tally up the players in 2008. But I estimate it'd be around 1200.

Can't really compare with the score computation in 2008.

These stats were compiled in 2008, but countries now are much larger than before. It was rare for people to maintain countries above 100M.

Decrease in military size. I don't know if manpower requirements decreased between 2008 and now. But given countries now are obscenely much larger than before, it is a sign of a more peaceful world.

This couldn't be done in 2008, and Production was used to give an idea of the size of the economy instead.

From what I recall for memory, although there were far more players, not many amassed this much wealth. At the time, most worlds ran at 3 game months per day.

Less players, so a higher concentration on the top20, and note the population size of the empires.

"While I was looking at the table, I realized the difference between all players in a world and those in level 1, which is equivalent to the sum of those in level 2 and above, is an approximation to the amount of full members in each world. Applying that thought, we would get 51 full members on Kebir Blue, 79 on Fearless Blue, 124 on White Giant, 87 on Golden Rainbow and 119 on Little Upsilon. This does not necessarily mean that Simcountry has 460 full players, as many players play on several worlds, but it does give a good hint about how many are there in each world and how they are distributed."

I also had an interesting stat aggregating all of the worlds to see how much some players had in total, but I can't find it on the Forum. I'm not even sure I posted them at all. I'll think about this as well.
