==== ASM Population: 500,000 ====
Total according to speech of Minister at OECD Forum 2017 (seems plausible for a population of 25 million) -> **500,000** \\
Min/max: Total appears to be at upper end of range (MAX). MIN might be between total and HIL-16 -> **300,000 - 500,000** \\
Female participation: no data. As diamond is more important than gold, participation is believed to be less than African default: 20%? -> **100,000?** \\
Gold: gold is less important than diamond. Perhaps **150,000?** gold and 250,000? diamond.
