Well, the more people there are, the more hands we have to do the work, and the more that gets done. Further, it allows the refinement of division of labour, meaning that we can produce higher-quality, innovative products. On the other hand, supporting all these people can become a serious burden - in particular, the resources required to house and water the world's population are obscene.

None, other than a poor indicator of how long you've been here.

Given that the forums tell us how long you've been here, population is pretty useless.

Oh, but I guess to some people it gives you magical nukes. Yep; having more people will mean more magical nukes. I guess.

Once your nation's population reaches 500 million you gain the abilities to customise its pre-title (and thus to replace terms such as 'Kingdom' or 'Republic' with whatever you want..) and to submit new 'Issues' for consideration.
There are three Issues that have population thresholds for eligibility: These give you the ability to name your nation's capital city, leader, and official religion, respectively.

Reaching 500 million takes approximately 3 months from the nation's creation.
