Y'wanna cite specific numbers that are a problem? Based on the Gran Canaria infocard correction, I think it's safe to say the current devs are willing to correct these things if they're made aware.

Two former Official Coalition leaders have informed me in the past that it's still a nuclear wasteland, and thusly is unusable. The infocard doesn't mention a specific attacker to keep it ambiguous as to who it was, but the attack occurred anyway. Either way, the Coalition is smaller than you think it is. Sorry mate.

The Houses and Gallia.
Edit: Forgot to throw in obvious candidates like the Hessians, maybe Crayter too.
Still think there numbers counted like for medieval grown, not for sci-fi environment, but this is for another topic. Here Sciamash posted assumed confirmed infocards numbers. So anyway thanks.
Seeing discussions like that, my eyes having completed a few courses on social demographics bleed. Nor only people underestimate the fertility of humans over long time-span, but also the level that technologies play in securing human population growth by, say, reducing child mortality. And we are talking not about modern-like Earth, but actually the era of FTW travel, nanotech, tachyon guns, cold fusion and whatsoever. Even despite all this being highly speculative and fantasy-like, some assumptions are just lunacy.

You can get into specifics as much as you want, of course if you don't mind people disagreeing with you. And people can even disagree about "x faction is larger than y", so it's either not discussing the subject and not getting shat on, or discussing the subject and getting shat on.

It's also a future of constant war and heavily weaponized criminals. And to combine both: Golanski. Space-faring people don't live long. I do wonder how that is reflected on planets, though. I guess that's also just speculation.
We can always assume that Sirius Sector's population is mostly in huge diaspora among the bigger spaceships and stations while part of the population being grouped onto the planets. From the sociopolitical point of view however, it would take a lot of effort and serious fusion within societies to end up in interstellar political entities level.
That's why Elite: Dangerous got it right. Despite existence of Federation, Empire and Alliance in there, there are dozens of hundreds of factions (and each system has separate navies) and their affiliation is merely stance for or against certain sets of laws within The Bubble. The political affiliations is not binding as well and situation in which two pro-Federation factions fight each other isn't really a rare sight.
