Would the secondary powers even be near the 25 system mark?  I suspect
not.
 Especially not the LLAR.  

As for the size of the colonised sphere well there may be 120 colonies
out
there but not all will be heavily populated.  The main example most
people
use is that of the NAC capital New Albion which is still only the size
of
the UK (60 million or so by todays count).

This is surely one of the biggest of the colonies.
