ASM Population: 100,000
Most recent and most reliable appears the personal information from MM (2017): 100,000.
Certainty is however low. Minimum is estimated according to UBC-14 data (73,000), Maximum according to MM (2017) estimations (150,000).
Female occupation probably low, being an islamic country; perhaps 2,000?
