==== ASM Population: 7,000 ====
UBC-14 data is only statistically calculated. Recent news articles confirm widespread "gold digging". Due to lack of other data, the estimation of **7,000** remains the best available guess.\\
Min/max: **+/- 1,000** appears reasonable \\
Female participation: Being an islamic country, participation of women is unlikely: **0**.\\
Gold: **All** data are for ASGM.
