2.4.1 Population

The population of Liga is a an acient mix of Dutch, English and French colonists, and decendants of the old ship crews of the 1700's and later. Due to a slow influx of new colonists the population very slowly expanded into the 1940's. After world war II and more specifically after President Labberlot opened Liga for foreign investors in 1979, the influx of highly skilled, rich, and overseas employees expanded the population explosive. In 1945 for example the capital, Liga city only had about 20,000 citizens, in 1990 more then 56,000, and now in 2014 179,000 citizens, remain in the capital.
