SANDRA Planet Yamatai's Growing Population to Soon Reach 8 Billion

Kyoto, Yamatai - Record numbers of people are calling the capital world of the Yamatai Star Empire "home." A recently released census, conducted by planetary tracking systems, drones, and teams of government Nekovalkyrja, has managed to count the total population of the planet, which now stands at 7.932 billion and rising. This number is significantly higher than the last census, which was in October YE 36, and was 6.084 billion. The count includes only terrestrial, sapient citizens with physical bodies.

Researchers attribute this rise in population to:

• An extremely low death toll thanks to advanced medicine and mind-transfers
• The Star Army's continued mass-production of Nekovalkyrja soldiers, and
  
• Immigration, typically for jobs or amenities

The census data also showed that the majority of new residents of Yamatai were living in the vast splendor and comfort of the Kyoto Megacity, where their every need is easily provided for.
