I was wondering how fast a nation gains population. Is it 1 million every 5 hours or something? I would like to know, so I can calculate how fast I will get 1 billion citizens.

I think it’s roughly 5 million per WA update. Of course, the timing of the update kind of effects the population, but on average (8 hours), 5 million people.

So if I did that math right, I should reach 1 billion in roughly 102 hours, and 500 million in roughly 16 hours. Thanks.

It's definitely not every 8 hours, my nation needed 6 months before it reached 1 billion, for example.

No, you gain population once per day, not every eight hours. As the above user said, it takes about 6 months to reach 1 billion population from the starting population of 5 million.

Oh, then time to wait for Janurary. Thank you.

How it works:

5 million people - You get 1 million people per day

10 million people - 2 million per day

20 million people - 3 million per day

32 million people - 4 million per day

40 million people - 5 million per day

50 million people - 6 million per day

62 million people - 5-7 million per day

After you gain 62 million, the growth does not change.
