This report is intended to advise and analyze trends in Apolytonia over time. These stats are the result of analysis of five saved games, 2590 BC, 1400 BC, 430 BC, 350 BC, 210 BC, 30 BC, and 170 AD (current).
SUMMARY:
*The population of Apolytonia has swelled from 1,017,000 citizens in 30 BC to 1,378,000 citizens in 170 AD, a strong growth of 35.5% yet still one of the less fertile time in our nation's considerable history.
*100,000 volunteers, and 180,000 slaves now works the fields, roads, and mines of Apolytonia. The percentage of slave labor has risen even higher: 64% of the workforce is comprised of slaves: 70,000 Persian, 10,000 Germanic, 40,000 American, 20,000 Babylonian, 10,000 Roman, 10,000 Greek and 30,000 of French descent. If you were to count these workers as Apolytonian citizens, the population would rise by 20.3%!
*Apolyton is the nation's largest city with 212,000 citizens, making it the largest ever in Apolytonian history yet one of the smallest capitals in the world.
*Here It Is has proven to be the fastest growing in all of Apolytonia, blooming an astounding 133% over the last term from 30,000 to 70,000.
*Apolyton brings in the most income, with 13 Lytons per turn, whilst Loveshack brings in the most income per capita, .111 lytons per thousand people.
*Apolyton produces the most shields, 9 per turn, while the new Uber Island outpost Another Glorious City and Termina both produce the most per capita, at .071 shield per thousand people. Another Glorious City is promising to be a leading Apolytonian city.
*The state of scientific output is perplexing; corruption eats away at almost all of the scientific communities. Only five cities produce output, each city with one. It is worthwhile to note that, for the first time in history, the intelligencia have moved outside of Mingapulco province. Congratulations are due to Gaia and Geofront for being the frontrunners in taking science outside this hegemonist province.
*The alarming influx of foreign blood in the past two centuries has lost momentum, to the continued relief of the A.R.E. There are now only 26,000 people of American descent in the land, or 1.9% of the total population. This is solely from 26,000 in Gaia, the last American-Apolytonian bastion. That number has fallen from the previous 42,000 and 4.1% of national population. Expect an rejuvenation of American blood if the War Hawks have their way and capture the rest of America. There are 75,000 people of French decent, a loss of 6.3%, as the have become more of a minority, down to 5.4% of the total population. There is a new addition to Apolytonian diversity, as 30,000 Persians now fall under Apolytonian administration, in the city of Tyre; this leads to a minority of 2.2%. This is a combined foreign population of 9.5%, down from 11.0%. Actual numbers of foreigners are up 17.0% (Half that of the national growth of 35.5%!).
*The treasury continues it's unbroken streak of increasing per turn gains in Lytons.
*Demographic highlights:
-Apolytonia's approval rating has risen to an astounding height never before seen in the world, as people take to the streets in festivities. 82% of the nation now approves of the administration!
-The remainder of Apolytonia's demographics mostly speak of bad news. Leadng this bad news is fall in literacy from 8th place in the world to a pathetic 12th.
-The disease, although still the worst in the world, has fallen 2% to 32%.
-The most alarming trend is the continued drop in average military service to 7 from 9 years. This trend has come to the point that we are now the 15th least mobilized nation in the world.
-The average family size has fallen from 6th in the world to 11th, supporting the beliefs that Apolyton is grossly underpopulated for it's size.
-The one bright spot in the demographics, being cited by the DIA and the Economy Ministry, is the amazing increase in the per capita wages of Apolyton, up to 4 per capita, good for first in the land from 5th last terms!
Current Regional Comparisons:
•Mingapulco Province(currently Apolyton, Termina, Tassagard, Banana HQ, Port Rouge):
561,000; 5.0% foreign; 40.7% of national population (a sharp fall since last term, and the first time ever in history that Mingapulco is not a majority, as predicted by the last edition of the statistics). 29 Lytons income (a net loss); 24 shields output; 3 science output (a decline).
•Principality of Piña Colada (currently Timeline, Gaia, Del Monte, Chiquita):
295,000; 8.8% foreign (a tremendous drop); 21.4% of national population (fair rise). 14 Lytons income; 12 shields output; 1 science output (a first).
•El Niño Province (currently Loveshack, Seeberg, Ubergorsk, Geofront, Napoleton, Tyre):
274,000; 10.9% foreign; 19.9% of national population (a small rise). 16 Lytons income; 9 shields output; 1 science output (a first).
•Île de Rose (currently Here It Is, Macross City, Jerusalem, Cherbourg):
206,000 (more than doubled!); 36.4& foreign (a small rise); 14.9% of national population (a fair rise). 12 Lytons income; 9 shields outpout (a huge rise); 0 science output.
•Uber Island (currently Another Glorious City):
42,000 (huge rise); 0% foreign; 3.0% of of national population. 4 Lyton income (400% increase!); 3 shield output; 0 science output.
Analysis: Mingapulco's hegemony continues to be contested, as it finally is not the majority in population and above all is not the sole scientific center. Île de Rose province is firmly off it's feet and shows prospects for greatness, as does Uber Island, but it is Piña Colada and El Niño provinces who are finally coming into their own.
Foreign Comparisons:
*note: these stats are estimates based off of averages and cannot be made any more accurate by way of current knowledge of the country (and without cheating) thus all numbers are approximate*
~France = 305,000 or 0.22 times the size of Apolytonia (29.3% increase)
~Greece = 1,440,000 or 1.04 times the size of Apolytonia (13.1% increase)
~Aztec = 1,370,000 or 0.99 times the size of Apolytonia (21.3% increase)
~Persia = 1,895,000 or 1.36 times the size of Apolytonia (60.2% increase)
~England = 1,620,000 or 1.18 times the size of Apolytonia (24.7% increase)
~America = 280,000 or 0.20 times the size of Apolytonia (20.0% increase)
~Germany = 1,740,000 or 1.26 times the size of Apolytonia (21.3% increase)
~Russia = 990,000 or 0.72 times the size of Apolytonia (-0.7% increase)
~Babylon = 460,000 or 0.33 times the size of Apolytonia (40.6% increase)
~Rome = 1,650,000 or 1.20 times the size of Apolytonia (32.3% increase)
~Iroquois = 435,000 or 0.32 times the size of Apolytonia (34.3% increase)
Analysis: Population of the known world rose to 13,563,000, a growth rate of 26.6%. Numbers on the remaining 3 civilizations are unavailable, but we can conclude (based upon Apolytonia's world ranking of 8th in population) that there is 1 as-yet-unknown civ's whose population is larger.
Population Density:
*due to currently unavailable estimates of foreign nations' land area, density is based on average city size.
^Apolytonia = 68,900 per city
^France = 33,900 per city
^Greece = 90,000 per city
^Aztec = 105,400 per city
^Persia = 157,900 per city
^England = 124,600 per city
^America = 56,000 per city
^Germany = 158,200 per city
^Russia = 90,000 per city
^Babylon = 92,000 per city
^Rome = 110,000 per city
^Iroquois = 48,300 per city
Analysis: It is the opinion of this department that this statistical display is the poorest performance of Apolytonia, all things considered. Even weak nations such as Babylon surpass our city size; Apolyton is the laughing stock of every other national capital (save the vanquished French and Americans). If our nations truly wishes to be a great power, something must be done to make our cities a respectable size.
Military Stats:
*note:military stats are for the purpose of comparisons only, and are not absolute indications of strength; they are however adjusted to consider strength of units (to account for, example, that fact that 10 musketmen are better than 10 spearmen).*
+Total offensive power in 210 BC is 59(2 naval); defensive is 64(2 naval); mobility is 46(6 naval)
+ Total offensive power in 30 BC is 64(2 naval); defensive is 67(2 naval); mobility is 47(6 naval)
+Total offensive power in 170 AD is 72(2 naval); defensive is 75(2 naval); mobility is 51(6 naval)
+Offensive power has grown a fair 12.5%.
+Defensive power has grown 11.9% (and will rise as pikemen are implemented).
+Mobility has grown 8.5% (due to new war chariots).
+The number of total units has risen to 40.
MAJOR POWERS: (any nation with 15% more points than the mean; "lost civs" not listed):
1. Greece, 32.0% above mean
*note: no other Abananaba powers make the cut. However Apolytonia makes leaps and bounds, rising from 6th to 5th and fast closing in on Major Power status! PREDICTION: Next term will see our mighty nation surpass England in the rankings.*
MAJOR GROWERS: (any nation with 2% more growth than the mean; "lost civs" not listed):
1. Apolyton, 7.2% above mean
*note: As some of the more observant may have noticed, the last 200 years have shown strikingly less growth than any of the previous terms. It holds true here, as Apolyton is the only nation to qualify as a major grower! But even so it's growth is LESS THAN HALF that of the two previous terms! It is a mystery as to why the entire world has had a fairly last two centuries.
Overall Suggestions to Ministers:
1. The department decides this term to stress two things: the low density of our nation and the falling military service. In short, we feel it is high past time to cease these destructive wars and consolidate our gains for at least two terms. A large economic base is now established and will allow us to secure our position as a world leader, if only we take the time to firm our grip and develop internalls.
2. As for provinces, Mingapulco's plight from the majority is a good thing. Within a couple of terms the other provinces will be large enough to stand as self sufficient contributing components of our nation, and development will focus on Uber Island.
3. The science output is ATROCIOUS. Something must be done. But the developments in Gaia and Geofront are to be lauded.
note: no chart will be posted this week; in it's place will be a map of population density, to be posted ASAP.
