for why I think adding the population numbers to the Heir Consort Project is relevant became clear to me the other day. It seems there is, despite the recession, a never ending list of things that need to be opened, or anniversaries that need to be celebrated in countries with a high population.
Those events don’t come around quite as often in the countries with lower populations. They do come around, just not as frequently.
