Pop Code	Statement (Summary Synopsis Paragraph)	Remarks
0	World has 0 population. It is devoid of a known sophont population. It may still possess non-sophontic lifeforms, which is to say creatures. It is a Barren World.	Barren World
1	World has a 1 to 99 numbered sophont population. On most worlds, this population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a few starships, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.
2	World has population of 100 to 999 sophonts. On most worlds, this population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
3	World has 1,000-9,999 population. On most worlds, this population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
4	World has 10,000-99,999 population. This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish. Most examples of this type are capable of resource extraction but lack an industrial base, in particular factories, to make use of the resources.
5	World has 100,000-999,999 population. This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish. Most examples of this type are capable of resource extraction but lack an industrial base, in particular factories, to make use of the resources.
6	World has 1,000,000-9,999,999 population. This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish. Most examples of this type are capable of resource extraction but lack an industrial base, in particular factories, to make use of the resources.
7	World has 10,000,000-99,999,999 population.
8	World has 100,000,000-999,999,999 population.
9	World has 1,000,000,000-9,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels.
A	World has 10,000,000,000-99,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels.	This is the largest that most worlds in Charted Space get.
B	World has 100,000,000,000-999,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.	A few examples, mostly in Aslan Hierate space.
C	World has 1,000,000,000,000-9,999,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.	Yaskoyloyt (world), possibly a few others.
D	World has 10,000,000,000,000-99,999,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.	Code from T5. TBD if any exist in Charted Space
E	World has 100,000,000,000,000-999,999,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.	Code from T5. TBD if any exist in Charted Space
F	World has 1,000,000,000,000,000-9,999,999,999,999,999 population. High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets, which make them very desirable to merchants and merchant vessels. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.	Code from T5. TBD if any exist in Charted Space
