Barring any larger nation just having been refounded in the last 24 hours or so, the largest nation in the game is Kyupaa with a population of 19.295 billion.

And their order could switch again tomorrow, since they're only 1 million population apart. It's a race!

EDIT:
.. and current top 10, the only ones above 19 billion:
1. 19295 Kyupaa
2. 19294 Korinekia
3. 19242 Architeuthis
4. 19235 Feynland
5. 19154 West Siders
6. 19146 Frappuccino
7. 19130 Moneystan
8. 19025 Demoness
9. 19015 Eli
10. 19005 Ochakov

At average growth rate, 20 billion should be reached on December 22 2011. I'm gonna place my bet for December 20 !

Why does NSTracker list Lamoni as the largest population even though the ones mentioned here surpass him?

Because NS tracker is buggy, as are most of the nation/regions statistics scripts.

That's not gonna work that easily. Imagine a whopping 1000 new players log on tomorrow, arriving out of nowhere. On day one they will have a combined population of 5 billion. The top 10 players combined will have them outnumbered about 38 to 1. After a month of playing these thousand new players will have a combined population of about 134 billion. The top 10 players will then still outnumber them, though by that time only at a rate of about 1.44 to 1.

The bottom of that page says: "Currently tracking 1098 nations", so I'm guessing it's not tracking all 81665 nations currently in the game.

Tracker statistics are based off "tracked" nations or in other words, nations that have registered accounts. That will be changing soon to World statistics since many players confuse the two.

The tracker database contains information on every nation within the game that existed at the time of the last major update. There are 1098 nations registered with the site that are tracking their daily figures. That line will be modified to remove any confusion there as well.

*DIG*

The first nation to obtain 20 billion population is: Korinekia.

Obtained yesterday December 21st 2011 with 20.002 billion, and now sitting at 20.008 billion citizens. Second place is for Kyupaa, with 20.004 billion today.

Congratulations!

That's really something to see nations crossing the 20 billion mark. My oldest is just past 16 billion.

Congrats!

I thought I had a big nation, but I'm still ~500 million behind the top.

I've been playing since before April 03 (I don't remember exactly when I started but it was definitely before V1.4 and the introduction of regional controls)

I guess any nation bigger must have been playing pretty much from the very beginning (or had the pop bug at some point)
