Now, you should be familiar by now with this kind of article. In case you are not - I am presenting you population statistics of some small western european countries. Why did I not choose your country? Obviously I'm not really interested in it. That doesn't mean I'm interested in all the countries I chose - but it does make sense to compare all scandinavian countries and so on. That means, if I decide to include Sweden and Finland, I should also include Norway and Denmark, even though right now they are not important.
Todays winner is Portugal. They have had the biggest growth - and it had been steady for the last 20 days!
Ok, so lets start. I started collecting data on Day 1625, from now on: Day 0. I had an article on Day 6, Day 13 and today is Day 19 of this little research.
Since Day 13, only Portugal has had a real growth. Well, and Denmark, but that doesn't really count since a) the country is small and in a union with Germany and b) it's unclear to me how many of those are PTOers.
The total population this week was 32281. Now, let's see who has the biggest parts of those!
„Rest“ includes Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Belgium and Ireland - all countries below 1k citizen.
Now, this graph might seem boring, but there's a reason I do it every time. The next graph shows you the same data - i.e. the percentage every country has of those 32k mentioned above - in another way and with less countries.
Believe it or not, but this is showing some changes more clearly.
Ok, so let's compare the real numbers of all nations above 4k citizen.
You can clearly see the UK's Babyboom, but also that it has stopped. I've heard rumours about ads on the British Facebook page that created the Babyboom and stopped it now; since I can't verify that, no idea, but it sounds reasonable. Germany's small Babyboom has p much stopped as well, France is the same as always; however, Portugal has had a small Babyboom like Germany, but for a longer time.
Now, what about growth rates?
As we can see, Portugal is the only country with a reasonable growth.
Ok, last one:
Yeah, that's it. Hf.

Well the number of total citizens isn't really a reliable way to estimate the demographics of the country. Maybe the number of new citizens is indicative of the fact that anyway the population is growing but when you make a comparison between different countries I advice to look at the number of voters for the presidential elections which is a good parameter to estimate the number of active citizens.
For example France had 1344 voters in the last elections while UK had only 578 voters.
This means that France has more active citizens than UK which they are the real strength of a country.
@Principe Alessandro: That's true in a way. But the last elections happened before UK's great baby boom, so you cannot compare these data for today's population of those countries ; )
Exactly. Also, I could as well look at damage output, average level and so on to determine a nations strength. But I want to look at the population, since it kinda shows the potential of strength - and since that's the main weakness of all those countries.
\o/ skalg kann ja sogar eigene artikel verfassen 😃
Alessandros approach is very interesting.
I also thought about multiplying "average level" with the population size, so that we have an estimate of XP. Since the API is gone, there are no other ways to get a "total XP per country" anymore, am I right?
well, I want to do a more detailed article after I have a month's data, I guess I'll include factor's like average level there.
