We thought it would be easier and more efficient to store the population as a dictionary mapping provinces to a citizen list and supporter count. Prior to this, we used two separate states. One to store a list of all citizens in a given country, and the second to store a dictionary that maps provinces to supporter counts and population size. This caused us to have to look through the same data multiple times.
