Once a quarter (after the quarterly report), I look at my comparitive stats to see how I'm doing relative to the other empires. I understand what all of them are referring to except "Popularity." I don't think they mean my popularity with my subjects, because that's shown by "Approval." I thought it might be my diplomatic skill, but I researched the heck out of diplomacy and became the most suave diplomat in the universe, and the stats page still showed that I was 5th in Popularity. What are the factors that make this stat?
Thanks.
