prolegomenon to the updating of IST placements

[Mamorien]

             D-BOX  IST Placements - Things have changed since
                    1990; population has grown, countries have
                    dissolved and new ones formed.  The IST has
                    changed with them.

 

That they have. Taking Wikipedia's 2015 population estimate as a guideline, here are the countries that would have more ISTs than just the one in their capitol:

• Occupied China: has enough population to support 30 extra teams. Does this mean it's divided into a total of 31 units?
  
• India: Delhi + 28 teams (including the ones that were active as of IST1, at what are now known as Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai).
  
• USA: DC + 7 teams (one of them new; did Seattle get its own IST?).
  
• Indonesia: Jakarta + 6 teams (the three that were already in place as of IST1, the one that opened in '91, and two more).
  
• Brazil: Brasilia + 5 teams (one of them new).
  
• Pakistan: Islamabad + 4 teams (Karachi, Quetta, and two new ones).
  
• Bangladesh: Dhaka + 4 teams (Chittagong, Khulna, and two new ones).
  
• Russia: Moscow + 3 teams (chosen from the USSR teams, spaced to provide nationwide coverage; Murmansk has to be one of them for the sake of its role in protecting the northern latitudes)
  
• Japan: Tokyo + 2 or 3 teams (Osaka, Sapporo, and possibly a new one, unless the Hiroshima and Nagasaki teams count toward the national allotment).
  
• Mexico: Mexico City + 2 or 3 teams (Monterey, Mazatlán and possibly a new one.
  
• Philippines: Manila + 2 teams (Davao and one new one).
  
• Ethiopia: Addis Ababa + 2 new teams.
  
• Vietnam: Hanoi + 2 teams (Thanh-Pho Ho Chi Minh and one new one).
  
• Egypt: Cairo + 2 teams (Aswan and one more).
  
• Turkey: Ankara + 2 teams (Malatya and one more).
  
• Iran: Tehran (or wherever they set up the provisional capitol) + 2 teams.
  
• Germany: Bonn + 2 teams (Berlin and one more).
  
• Congo: Kinshasa + 1 or 2 teams.
  
• Thailand: Bangkok + 1 or 2 teams (established: Ranong and one more).
  
• France: Paris + 1 or 2 teams (established: Marseilles)
  
• United Kingdom: London + 1 or 2 teams (established: Edinburgh)
  
• Italy: Rome + 1 or 2 teams (Milan)
  
• Burma: Yangon + one more.
  
• Sudan: Khartoum + one more.
  
• Spain: Madrid + one more.
  
• Colombia: Bogota + one more.
  
• Tanzania: Dar es Salaam + one more.
  
• Kenya: Nairobi + one more.
  
• Ukraine: Kiev + Odessa
  
• Argentina: Buenos Aires + one more.
  

Nigeria would qualify for a total of five teams, but only if they've rejoined the UN. If a reunited Korea has joined the UN, they'd qualify for two ISTs, presumably in Seoul and Pyongyang. South Africa would be entitled to a total of two if they got their act together, but that's the one regard in which Krypton-1 continues to do worse than OTL.

The floor is open to thoughts on placement.
