Going by those three articles, Minmatar are the least populated. Probably don’t have an extra journalist around.

The minmatar are technically the most populated faction, but the majority of their population don’t live in the Republic, they’re in the Federation and the Empire. In fact only about one quarter of the Minmatar actually live in the Republic.

11 trillion Minmatar in the Empire (whose total population is 21.4 trillion)  
7 trillion Minmatar in the Federation (whose total population is 20 trillion)  
6.5 trillion Minmatar in the Republic (whose total population is 9.6 trillion)  
84 _billion_ Minmatar in the State (whose total population is 8.4 trillion)

So no, the Republic isn’t the smallest empire, the State is. This information comes from EVE Source.

And in this case, the State is what is cared about, not the technicalities.

You’re continuing to argue something that doesn’t matter. Want to argue, go argue with whoever wrote the three articles, because they’re going to be the one writing the fourth one.

What do you think I’m arguing? I’m just providing the information that is available.
