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) = 1,243,741 − 0.0000/s × elapsed since 1 Jul 2025
births/day = 35 (crude birth rate 10.30/1,000, 2024)
deaths/day = 34 (crude death rate 10.00/1,000, 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 -0.16%/yr; the rate shown above is derived
from the components so it always agrees with the counter. Full method →
