[SG 2 bacckground mostly] Odd thoughts about OU forces and GZG figures in a unit. was Re: Fiji in space but back on earth, oy ve?!?!?

> From the 1981 (National Geographic) Atlas [first one on shelf at home]

Australia: 14,588,000 New Zealand: 3,149,000 Papua New Guinea: 3,007,000
Antartica: unstated Fiji: 630,000 Kiribati: 59,000 Nauru: 8,000 Solomon
Islands: 230,000 Tonga: 98,000 Tuvalu: 8,000 Vanatu: 117,000 Western Samoa:
157,000
Ex-pat. USA:
American Samoa: 32,000 Guam: 106,000 other: 4,000 North Marianas: 17,000
Federated States: unstated
Ex-pat. French:
French Polynesia: 147,000 Wallis and Futuna: 10,000 New Caledonia: 137,000

The last two may not be ex-French but the listing put them under the
French Terrirtories subheading...

I assume any nations not mentioned will not skew the numbers significantly.

The numbers will have increased but I will assume the relative numbers stay
pretty close to the same.

So, in the 1981 Atlas I see approximately 17.7 Million Aussies and New
Zealanders 4.6 Million "other Islanders"
                        22.3 Million (+/-) total max. pop.

Numerically 20.1% (+/-) of a mixed unit should be represented by
non-european figures.  Of course if the units were raised regionally
then the% could vary from 0% to 100%. So, how does the OU recruit their
soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines/spacers ?

6 mm miniatures rule! Well, anyway in my mind they do!

Isn't the PC term "intelligent cetaceans" as the term dolphin can be applied
so some of the "lesser" species.

:) I can just see the protests now "E-Quality for the I-C"
