Random Sonic Headcanon 14:These are technically two theories but they're close to each other, and since time is something I don't have a terrible amount of these days, I'll try to kill two birds with one stone. On the topic of population in Sonics universe, I believe it's actually smaller than one might think. Given the size of the cities and islands Sonic explores, alongside the variety of species, I'd say that the global population is probably more in the Lord of Rings range of in the upper millions, maybe a billion or two tops. Second, on the topic of species, here's how I view sentience in the Sonic universe, which I believe is directly tied to how much chaos energy a being has:

Fully Developed Civilizations:These are creatures that have concepts like written language and Society, this being Mobians, Humans and Zeti(Though the last are to a very minor degree to my knowledge)

Semi-Developed Species:Species that, while intelligent, lack traditional civilization and writing, so species like the Wisps and Coco, and Ghosts, the last of which I believe are raw chaos echoes formed by those whose consciousness has either been preserved by one form or another or were strong willed enough to resist true destruction and leave behind an imprint of themselves.

Semi-Sentient:creatures capable of rational thought, complex emotion, and intelligence, but aren't as an adapted to have society structure or language, this being the Chao.

Greater Evolved Animals:Animals that possess more intelligence and ability than regular animals, so things like giant chaos-energy mutated animals.

Regular Animals:Self-Explanatory, though the animal friends are slightly in between this category and the greater evolved animals, as they are particularly intelligent and possibly chaos energy associated animals, but not to the degree that it gives them any noticeable abilities or makes them fully sentient, same goes for the Orca that hates Sonic, Froggy, etc.
