Measuring Country Activity in the New World

The ADSP Bulletin released some interesting figures today regarding the growth of the eAustralian economy in the last political term.
One of the sticking points for many statistics published in the New World is the lack of a filter to show only those figures pertaining to Active Citizens.
According to the ADSP Bulletin, the nation's experience increased by 34,707 experience points in a 24 day period. While the population increased by 1,120 people.
That means the nation's experience is growing at about 1.29 experience per day, per person.
Whether this is a large figure or not is for the nation's citizens to decide, but it might be possible to gauge the overall activity of a country with these numbers.
Each active citizen will receive at least 3 experience points daily for eating, working and training.
We can use this discrepancy between the minimum experience of an active citizen ( 3 ) and experience gained per capita ( 1.29 ) to determine how active an eCountry is:
Country Activity = 1.29 / 3
Country Activity = 0.43
An active country should translate into a closer, more enjoyable and prosperous nation. It will be interesting to see if this measure rises or falls during the next political term.

I'm sorry I didn't follow you . How many active citizens do you estimate we have ?

I would like to debate the minimum xp per day, I know I personally didnt train some days when my wellness was low during the 1-6 level and I'm sure I am not the only one.
I would therefore put to you that the minimum should be 2xp as some people may not be training in the army as it does not produce money for them.
If you agree that would put the countries activity (considering we are looking at economics and GDP) at 1.29 /2 which is 0.65.
@Bil - It is an index of citizen activity, in the same way the inflation is an index of spending activity.
The ADSP Bulletin obviously thinks that an increase in experience translates to an increase in good governance. I'm presenting an index to test this theory.
A possible way to find the approximate number of active eAustralians would be to examine each company's records.
I have created an automated program to do this, and intend to release this information in a future issues of this newspaper.
@Alex - Good point. Perhaps that is a better indication. Thanks for the comment. I'll consider that in future.
Alex is right, most people past 5 strength will no longer train as its of no use to them
You could then multiply the country activity by the population to get a figure roughly equal to the number of active citizens. The number of active citizens would be a better measure of economic power than just population, and could be compared to other countries.
good article m8, keep it up 😉
I forgot to say good idea lol
And when I think about it, 3 does see better as its more conservative
If I follow the math , we multiply .43 x population to find active citizens . I always just used the unemployment rate , as an unemployed citizen is obviously a drop-out .

I can tell you right now.
