Let's say the colony Hypothetica starts off with 1 million colonists in
2070.
Large families are highly valued so each couple has 8 children--1 every
2.5
years starting at age 20 (and we'll assume all colonists are 20 when
they
arrive and none have their own kids).  The incidence of twins, triplets,
extra kids above 8, etc,  cancels out the effects of infant mortality.
Everyone lives to be 80.
Immigration after initial colonization is negligible.

How many people are there in 2190?
