Well, I'd say he, how yuo said, "succeeded". His only problem is a small
group of people living dangerously too close to him (dangerous for him).
As for these people, all hope is not yet lost. Their families, friends, and
a lot of other people who got captured all over Mobius, are robotocized, and
are safe at the time. The derobotization project is on the way too.

Didn't you say that there were 250 million people yourself?
I'm confused here.

I like the overall line of reasoning, but what about residents of an
undestroyed village who go visit a destroyed village (not knowing what
had happened)? Surely word would get back to the King, and I don't think
he's foolish enough to not investigate such reports. Or do we assume
that inter-village travel is something they just didn't to very much of?
Ok, what about the SWAT-bots? They usually patroll these kind of places,
and, By looking at the coup, I'd say they are doing their job well.
In other words, anyone comes into Robotnik's city is in deep stool.
Also, if anyone asks: The roboticized people are mainly, if not only,
from Mobotropolis. Do you(plural) remember in Blast to the Past, the first
roboticizer was tested on some dog, and then, Sir Charles was the first one
to
be roboticized after the testing was complete?

There could be a couple of thousand mobians still alive. Not ALL of them
are freedom fighters. And not ALL of them were killed (some were
roboticized).
Also, if there are, say, fifty people in each group (af civilians/freedom-
fighters), that would make for about 20 FF groups (If there are 1000 people
in
their natural state). 2000 would make forty. And I think that 20 - 40 groups
would be a nice estimate.
BTW (or by the way. thaks) since Mobotropolis was the capital of the PLANET,
I would think that there would be quite a lot of people living in it (say
20 million?) and when you add all of the turists, guests, people with
business,
and people who just got lost, I think that the number of civilians (or robots
waitind to be deroboticized) would be quite high. (so stop crying, there
is quite a lot of hope for them yet)
