Population of Sirius

[Unseelie]

Even in the case of only two farmable planets, I'd argue that 800 million people is not at all a huge sum, as it would take much less (can I say a tenth or less of one, if 'all' of earth is currently being used, which its not.)

Also, you forget Denver.

Food, in the current world economy, is cheap, already. Suggesting a population of 800 million, and highly robotic industries, as well as two entire earthlike planets...I don't think a cheaper alternative would make too much sense...In fact, synth would probably only really enter the playing feild, in my oppion, in a situation where food isn't plentiful because people are competing with farmers for living space, and shoving out more and more farmland...and thats billions, on each world, not millions. Thats more population density, or just about, that of earth.
