Erie infocard says that the planet population is 400 millions, so 50k is just a small token, but we take
thank you

Erie infocard is a meme in itself. Imagine growing by 5.7 million population from 0 to 400 in 69 years. Out of thin air. Demographics 101 ftw. Not to mention that the zoners, whose main population resides on spacestations like Freeports would be lucky to have even a few hundreds of thousands of population.

migration is also a thing too
and i'm willing to bet that there are other amenities like universities, some industries, etc. people like living on planets and it is probably considerably cheaper than running spaceports

well if erie infocard is a joke, got tell the people who wrote it and those who are responsible for the infocards
the second migration wave from Gran Canaria, had as main objective, at least in rp, people levaing GC and go to Erie, so yes, there are more zoners on Erie than before. also there are alot from Veracruz, after all, isn't the main reason for all this? many refugees that are hostile for liberty? so zoner and suporters numbers are way higher than 50 k ready to fight
but looks like is all prepare so let's pretend all, like the several hundred Ks bretonian sordiers invaded GC all at the same time

That would be correct in an extremely oversimplified model, like some regression ignoring the complicated factors of a stochastical social model. According to sociology, in order for a non-disaster migration to take place, the destination place needs to have comparative (or absolute) advantages over the places of emigration. Erie, according to the infocard, had been deemed "undesirable" due to harsh natural conditions. Spice it up with having only 69 years from the touchdown of the first small group of zoners to 400 million ppl, and suspiciously it is implied that the majority of that population is zoners. How? Idk. Imagine a group of ppl that up to 800s (vanilla) had a few tens of thousand people max suddenly boom to hundreds of millions and achieve the population level of, say, Crete in 69 years. I doubt the growth is due to migration or natural growth (fertility in advanced societies remains fairly low). More likely it was just a whim of those who wrote the infocard. The situation is very similar to Miura that also should not sport 440 million population achieved in 50 years. I am not even touching the fact that if zoners came to settle a planet after living in space for generations with respective physiological changes, they would experience a lot of purely medical problems and be worshiping Cryer as the second Jesus. It's better never mentioning the population of these small new planets.

Compare the pops of GC to Erie: 500k vs 400 million, 800:1. Idk who should be colonising what.

Planetary population numbers are entirely random, incoherent and should not be used for any serious estimations in RPs, simple as this.
You are all wasting your breath on something known to be remnants of random blurps of nonsense.

yeah! the current infocard says that, not the previous one, and even more the one before
