Some members of the Chinese government take the view that anyone of Chinese ancestry is fundamentally Chinese, regardless of where they live or to whom they pledge allegiance; they would presumably consider "our descendants are X% of the world population" to be as much of a victory condition as "we control X% of the world's surface area". Some members of the Russian government take the view that anyone who can speak Russian is fundamentally Russian; they would presumably consider "X% of the world population speaks Russian" to be a victory condition. Many religious groups consider "X% of the world shares our beliefs" to be a victory condition, of course. I don't share any of these positions, but of course I come from a Western Liberal background.
