How many channelers are in the world in 2046?
This number will only reflect Wilders and not individuals who can learn to channel, because we have not included "Learners" in our RP yet.
It was said that 1% of the world population were Wilders in the Age of Legends. Assuming that is the peak time for channelers, we are no where near 1% in 2046. But over the next few thousand years, we will build up to the 1% population level.
So in 2046, assume that 0.001% of the population are Wilders.
The world population is estimated to be about 9.5 billion people in 2046 (accounting for deaths from the disasters of the 2020's). So that's approximately 95,000 worldwide.
The CCD population is approximately 4.5 billion - so that's approximately 45,000 across the CCD.
Most of these Wilders die when they spark. So if even 1/4 survive long enough to develop a block, well, that's almost 25,000 channelers in the world. Of these, many are unlikely to realize what they are doing. (Remember Nynaeve didn't know she was channeling for years before Moiraine showed up).
Etc etc.
You can do your own math to determine a specific region now.
