Wikiverse/Statistics

Some statistics of the Wikiverse. (These are rough statistics, intended to provide some background when writing the stories. These numbers were hasty and initial guesses.)


 * x ~ y indicates an approximate range
 * million = 1,000,000
 * billion = 1,000,000,000

Real world

 * The current year is about 2060 ~ 2070 Common Era.
 * The real world contains about 10 ~ 11 billion humans.
 * About 6 ~ 7 billion of these are citizens and residents of the Federation of the Wikilands.
 * About 4 ~ 5 billion of these live in other states with different political systems.
 * About 4 billion of those spend all or nearly all of their time jacked into the Wikigalaxy. This leaves less than 900 million humans to form the effective population of the states outside the Federation.
 * The internets contain about 500 ~ 550 billion nodes, or about 50 nodes per human.
 * About 200 ~ 300 billion of these are connected to the Federation Internet. This internet spans the Federation of the Wikilands and a few other states.
 * About 250 ~ 350 billion of these are connected to the Blossom Network, a separate internet that spans most states outside the Federation. The Blossom Network probably has less actual hardware devices than the Federation Internet, but more devices appearing as multiple nodes. The Blossom Network also hosts the Wikigalaxy.
 * The world has about 200 ~ 220 states, with an average of 50 million humans per state, but a median of only 25 million humans per state. Populations of a state range from less than 1 million to more than 1 billion.

Wikigalaxy

 * Wikigalaxy has about 9 ~ 10 billion registered users.
 * This probably includes about 1 ~ 4 billion humans from the real world and 6 ~ 9 billion robots and artificial intelligences. In some cases, humans and robots are difficult to distinguish.
 * There are about 4 ~ 5 million wikis in Wikigalaxy, with a population of about 2 thousand users per wiki.
 * The median user has 30 apartment rooms, each at a different wiki. However, a few wikis have more than 5 billion apartment rooms.
