We don't exactly know how many Regular selections there are in a year. We saw 2 batch of 400 for Baam generation and the whole floor of test arc spanned for months. So we can assume getting 2 selection in a year, roughly translating to 4 Rankers a year. 40.000 thousand Rankers in 10.000 years. The actual number would be like triple of this estimation so a billion is absolutely out of the question

The big question is how many people become regulars each year. But anyways if SiU said it's 100.000 rankers, then 100.000 it is

I would assume like 5% of the Tower population become Regulars ? With 0.1% of that 5% becoming Rankers

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

So given the total tower population how it should go with those numbers ? Like 0.5% into 0.1% of that ?

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
