Chapter 1092: Chapter 818: Army Arms Race and Chain Reaction

Time passed swiftly, and before long, the year 1934 had arrived.

The first piece of good news worth mentioning is that the nationwide population census ordered by Arthur in Australasia had finally come to a successful conclusion, and the population data and scale of Australasia had been thoroughly updated.

According to the results of the first census, as of January 1, 1934, Australasia had a population of more than 42.379 million, ranking sixth in the world (only counting the native lands of the Powers), having surpassed Italy's 41.57 million.

It is worth mentioning that France is another country whose population has also remained at this level. Although I do not know the exact population of France, based on the population growth data and the situation of new births in France over the past few years, France's population should be between 42.5 and 43 million.
