So, it's possible that Remnant's worldwide population (the tournament was broadcast live to the entire world) is only in the millions, not the billions. How many millions is uncertain. Could be tens or hundreds of millions, for all we know.

A question is how much of Remnants population live outside of the zone of reliability of long range communication of CCT system? The towns blacksmith where they got Jaunes weapons and armor upgrade said that long range communication was not good even before Beacon Tower fell.
