Careful on the zeros... .00001% of 318,900,000 people (current population of America) is 31.89 people, and even rounded I suppose they get a few more than that.

It's in a predicament, but I don't know if I agree that it is unfortunate. It actually gives the entire town a goal, and I think it's going to revitalize the town and the people that live in it.
