Revision as of 04:10, 7 October 2019
The Population UWP code is an indicator of the world's population of Sophonts.
- This figure represents the exponent (number of zeros) which follow the first population digit (this digit is outlined in the extended data).
- High Population worlds are generally shown in all caps (e.g. ROUP) on sector/subsector maps.

Description (Specifications)
Following the example from the UWP page Roup has a population code of 9 and a population multiplier of 3. Thus the population is roughly 3x109 people or 3 billion (3,000,000,000 - three followed by 9 zeros). The actual population will be between 2.5 and 3.5 billion.
- High Population worlds are generally shown in all caps (e.g. ROUP) on sector/subsector maps.
- Population codes 0 and 1 are special cases, as it is important to distinguish low population from literally zero population. Thus, the entire 1-99 range goes in population code 1.

History & Background (Dossier)
In addition, the Population Multiplier digit of the "PBG" UWP element must also be zero to qualify for the Ba trade classification.[1]
Barren Worlds
"Barren" worlds are those worlds with a Population UWP code of 0, Government code 0, Law level code 0 and a Tech Level of 0. Worlds with such elements in the UWP qualify for the Ba trade classification.
