Mmmm from the digging I just did then it had to do with the environments
and
length of settlement on a few planets. If you're happy to have more
efficient resource use (a bit more like the larger powers though not
necessarily on a par), smaller federation wide effects of conflicts and
fewer restrictions on migration (thinking of your FTL vs STL fleets)
then
you could get up to 150 million without being radical in your
assumptions.
