I just wanted to say, for people hoping for an update, or for the sequel to be released, the developer has a blog, found in the updates tab of the game (kongregate). He hasn't posted on it in 6 months (upon writing this comment) and his last post was explaining how he has written most of the code for the sequel and is now doing the art, which will take a long time to do. So don't expect a sequel for a long time yet! Please rate up so people can see.
@gogobote, when your people build certain buildings, population max is increased, I think it's plant type buildings like farms, flowers, trees and parks.
It's important to remember that even if you don't get a bronze or higher trophy, you still keep the blips you earned. Don't be afraid to take on levels that you can't win!
@SebastianWood - Your pet stops leveling at 5 levels above you. and it's an idle game, it's not against the rules to leave it on all night so please don't complain - not that I'm trying to annoy you.
