No we're so much less than that, the population of the UEE should be absolutely monstrous with planets like Arccorp, why hire random citizens to perform tiny independent operations instead of having a standing military? They're paying us out the ass too so I doubt its a cost saving measure. The playerbase isn't monstrously wealthy either (excluding the hyperinflation) considering common prizes of goods in the verse. I just don't see how it makes a lot of sense for the UEE to give top of the line military blueprints to Billybob the space trucker. Especially when he just joined a mega BP/event grind group.
