:. CN Sanctioned Stats Depot, Special Edition, World Demographics Provided In Real Time

Today, primarily out of holiday-inspired boredom, I have a few special graphs that come from the World Demographics screen.

The first is a look at the population of planet Bob, broken down into total population military and civilian along with the total military killed:

If you look closely, you might notice where GW3 was. Unfortunately, GW2 happened before I began to track the World Demographics. However, I think things stand pretty well on their own as to how big and bad GW3 was relative to all earlier conflicts (~120M KIA the 60-odd weeks before GW3, ~200M killed over the next 3 weeks). I'm not entirely sure how the KIA numbers decline occasionally, but somehow it does. If anyone finds zombies around, they're all ex-military so be careful.

Next up is the creatively* titled CyberNations Nations graph, which details how many nations are on Bob and how big their civilian and military populations tend to be:

Surprisingly, GW3 didn't seem to herald an unusually large number of nation deletions (look at the orange line), which would seem to indicate that the grand game of geopolitics has not, in fact, stagnated as of yet. However, the number of active nations has not yet quite returned to the inter-war maxima. I suspect this may have been caused by the window within which new nations could not be created, but I'm open to other explanations from the community. Oddly, the recent Green Wars seem to have had a disproportionate effect on active nations. I suppose it may be caused by nations still "active" in the colloquial sense but not collecting taxes and "active" in the in game sense.

Hopefully someone finds this mildly interesting on an otherwise uninteresting Monday.

Very nice graphics :J

I was wondering how many soldiers died during that war, quite a number.

It looks like Total Military Killed actually dipped at one point... how does that happen?

I liked graphs and am glad to see you put a lot of work into this. The demographics with GWIII were very interesting, I wonder why so many more people died in it than in previous wars.

As I speculated in the first post, zombies. <psy?> Or Admin cleaning out the database. Otherwise, dunno.

Zombies.

Edit: Someone beat me to it <M>

Probably a combination of several things:
1) Much higher average strength of combatants than in GW1 or even GW2.
2) Many more nations all told took part in the battle.
3) The war system has evolved quite a bit, as have tactics.

My theory is that when a nation is deleted its casualties are deleted as well.

Deleted nations, no doubt.

That's a much more plausible but similarly less entertaining prospect. <M>

I hate entertainment.

Nice graphs!

Looks good! :J

That's pretty cool! :J

I have a question though: on the second graph, is it trying to say that the average nation has ~100,000 citizens in it? <psy?>

deleted nations?

The graph has two axes...

Wow, our little green dance had a surprisingly big hop on those graphs.

Truely great work there Unspeakable, thanks.

Interesting! :))

This is interesting, also I would reccomend putting a vertical line at important events like GWIII and the Green Wars.
