Subject: HIWG Regency Data Analysis

I used some of my sector analysis programs on the HIWG Regency UWP data,
and got the following results.  Figures for the Zhodani and Aslan worlds
only reflect worlds inside the four-sector region.  I broke out the
big governments, and then did a run on all the worlds.

Population density is a measure of how many billions of sophonts would
live on all the worlds of the region sampled if they were spread evenly.
Imperial density ran about 1.7 to 1.8, but near regions with a strong
Solomani influence, could peak well over 4.0 in some sectors.

************************************************************************

Regency of the Third Imperium (allegiance RE):
  683 worlds
  Average TL enjoyed by populace: 11.8
  Approximate Population: 1.6 trillion
  Population density: 2.3
  
  Breakdown by sector:
  
  Deneb:    288 worlds; average TL 12.0; 1100 billion; density 3.8
  Marches:  296 worlds; average TL 10.4;  350 billion; density 1.2
  Reach:     61 worlds; average TL 11.9;  120 billion; density 1.9
  Reft:      37 worlds; average TL 14.7;   55 billion; density 1.5
  
  Reft's data is skewed by the 50 billion living on the tech-15 world
  of Lintle/Vestus.
  
  Thirty-seven worlds have population codes of A or greater; six worlds
  have population codes of B!  Beaxon/Gulf defeats Askigaak/Star Lane
  for the dubious honor of most populous planet; at the 360 billion
  stated in the text of DENE-C-N.ILL, it has as many people as the
  entire Spinward Marches -- on a waterworld!  This required the local
  population to increase massively.  Popular place?  They manage to
  *feed* everyone???? :)  
  
  The population in Deneb sector has nearly doubled since 1117, even 
  with losses of territory due to the Collapse, mainly due to a few 
  very high population worlds maintaining high growth rates.
  
  Two very low-tech, mid-pop Vargr worlds (allegiance Vr) in Deneb are
  somehow affiliated with the Regency, but they do not visibly affect
  the numbers above.
  
Aslan New Lords (all Fteirle allegiances):
  194 worlds
  Average TL enjoyed by populace: 12.5
  Approximate Population: 200 billion
  Population density: 1.0
  
  The Aslan only possess five worlds of population code A, and none 
  of them have class-A starports.  While they possess an average
  technology level higher than the Regency, they only have two HiPop
  worlds with class-A port facilities.  The superior, Vadada/Nora'a,
  is tech-15 and controlled by the Yerlyaruiwo bloc.  The other is
  tech-12 and controlled by a non-Tlaukhu clan.  This may reflect
  the Aslan dislike of high-population worlds, and the relatively
  undeveloped nature of the region.  
  
Zhodani Consulate/Zhdantia Driantia (allegiance Zh):
  24 worlds
  Average TL enjoyed by populace: 10.1
  Approximate Population: 30 billion
  Population density: 1.3
  
Daryen Confederation (allegiance Da):
  24 worlds
  Average TL enjoyed by populace: 11.4
  Approximate Population: 28 billion
  Population density: 1.2
  
  
TOTAL regional statistics (all allegiances, all worlds):
  1277 worlds
  Average TL enjoyed by populace: 11.7
  Approximate Population: 2.0 trillion
  Population density: 1.6

A quick question:  were the x-boat routes determined for these sectors
as well, and if so, were the rationalizations in the MTJ #1 foldout used?
I don't know about the way station problems in Deneb, but a new route
connecting Mora-Rhylanor-Regina fairly directly was added that made a 
*lot* of sense.  Just wondering!
