How these numbers are made. Nobody counts people in real time. Each figure is recomputed every frame from a World Bank anchor and rate: pop(now) = 282,623 + 0.0000/s × elapsed since 1 Jul 2025 births/day = 9 (crude birth rate 11.12/1,000, 2024) deaths/day = 8 (crude death rate 10.23/1,000, 2024) Births and deaths are estimates for a hypothetical average day; they do not reflect seasonality, and the migration figure is a 5-year average. World Bank's separately published growth rate is 0.06%/yr; the rate shown above is derived from the components so it always agrees with the counter. Full method →
