The senior official sighed. "To be honest, it really is a mess. The immigration effort hasn't stopped. Every day, several million to tens of millions of immigrants pour into the Duchy of Dawn. Settling these people alone is already exhausting, not to mention conducting some Population Census... It's killing us..."
After grumbling for a few moments, he suddenly realized that he was speaking to Daphne Clement, the Duchy's Deputy Prime Minister, and hurriedly changed his tune. "What I mean is... we currently have too few personnel, and many of those immigrants refuse to obey orders. On the first day of the Population Census, more than 20,000 rioters were arrested across the Duchy because of it..."
Daphne Clement rubbed her forehead. "I know the situation we're facing. In the end, it all comes down to insufficient funding. Insufficient funding leads to insufficient manpower, and insufficient manpower forces us to rely on battle droids to maintain order. Much of the time, those cold machines only make things worse."
She considered it, then waved her hand and continued reviewing the report.
Hoth Sector: total population, 122.4 billion; new immigrants, 4.9 billion. During the census, 445,337 cases of questionable personal information were identified, along with 83,322 duplicate or erroneous blood sample records. 1,077 Force-sensitives and 43 Force-sensitives were discovered.

Seeing those figures, Daphne Clement could not help sighing.
