I just want to see population counts because it is a cool number to look at and to some extent it does represent the industrial capability of an empire. An empire could have 500 systems colonized, but a population of only 10,000. Meanwhile another empire has 10 systems colonized, but 200,000 people. Which empire do you think is stronger? According to the current metrics, clearly the 500 systems one! But in reality, probably the one with more people.
Even if we don't use it just to rank, knowing how many "loyal" citizens you have is a feels-good number.
