Nationstates Population Trends

[The Palindromic Land]

I said on the RMB I'd post this here. There are no fancy pictures with it (at least for now), but feel free to browse at your leisure. Column 1 is the date, column 2 is the total NS population according to the daily World Census report, and column 3 is the number of regions by the same measure. Population sees a cyclical trend - down during school holidays, and up during the term. I have some numbers from early 2009 which I'll post for comparison when I get a chance.

As I expected, the return of uni students from holiday has produced another upswing in population:

If people are actually interested in this data, please let me know. Otherwise I see no reason to continue to compile and share it.
