A question about military manpower vs population

[Hunpecked]

Well in regards to the Icaran Empire and AI to put it frankly they don't trust AIs and they believe in the "Supreme Dominance of Man" so basically trusting a machine over man is considered utter foolishness.

Fair enough. Luckily the Icarans haven't run up against the evil Wintel Empire.

By our standards Icaran factories are also remarkably unautomated except where necessary, this serves the double purpose of making sure very few Icaran citizens ever have to fear homlesness as there is literally a job for almost everyone in their society.

Having a human do a machine's job isn't necessarily the best way to ensure full employment, but that's a whole 'nother discussion.

The only thing is in star track universe i believe you are saying they hae too many ships with a number more aroud 10,000. Also starfleet is considered the military of the federation. Also i believe the dominion war casualty projections were for the entire alpha quadrant, which would include federation, klingon, cardassian, breen, romulan and all the other losses which could get you somewhere up there bt still not the 900 billion.(i also thought it may have been 90 billion in the episode or something similar
