The numbers you are using are too large. We can say the the US has the largest industrial in the world and our whole population is approx 260 million. We know a faction of that is being used to run everything.

But OTOH, there's bloody well more than 25 Facilities in the US. But Earth's a Medium planet, I'd assume. So we've got at most 15 facilities on the whole planet!
Points: we're looking at weird scales as to what 1 facility represents (perhaps the US == 2-4?), and/or we're looking at unrealistic limits on how many facilities can be on a planet. Even considering the former point, I think the latter point stands (Space Yards of course being the best example). However, it all comes down to game balance in the end...
