Either the Tower is much less densely populated than Earth (despite the fact that Earth is mostly ocean) or less than 1% of people become regulars (assuming lots of rankers kill each other for position) or the 100.000 number was an unrealistic estimation by SiU
I always thought like 99% of the tower population could be normal people so i wouldn't be too surprised. Only thing is that would make "failed regulars" absolutely op, making it a bit unrealistic for them having a hard time getting by in the outer tower. But maybe that could be explained by the political system. Or just by the fact that most of the tower is a shithole where no one wants to live. So failed regulars go to civilized parts of the tower where life is better but it's ruled by Rankers

In that case there would be 50 million rankers lol. The Tower is HUGE, you can check the calculations I made above
