There's a mention _somewhere_ of the point where Albion reaches the same
population as England. Which is currently in the neighborhood of 160
million and the demographic trends do not indicate a lot of population
growth. Perhaps even a net decrease what with Brits moving out to the
Americas to administrate, garisson, and recolonize depopulated areas
from the war, and then to the various colonies.
