Population Multiplier (Metric) Synopsis

The first digit of the "PBG" element of a UWP is the population multiplier. The number is used with the Population code in the UWP to determine the mainworld's overall population.

Population Multiplier (Metric) Description

Example

Take the following (fictitious) UWP:

Nerdle 0101 A867978-E N Hi 811 So G2 V

The population code in Nerdle's UWP is 9. This indicates that the population is in the billions (9 zeros). The number 8 (at the beginning of the PBG) is then added to the population code, giving a population of 8,000,000,000, i.e. 8 multiplied by 10 to the power of 9 (8 * 10^9 = 8,000,000,000).
