And also...

Since the game doesn't end until the start of the new turn, the 
population when the game ends isn't the same as it was when the last 
player was killed.  This is probably bad.

And finally, the population is listed in thousands.  The column title 
needs to say this.  You can't give the full population because it may 
overflow a 32-bit integer (that's what they say, although I'm not sure I 
believe it - but it's hard to prove that it _can't_ overflow).
