Next Colony - Gini Coefficient - Wealth Distribution

Here is another excuse to use Python to check out some Steem related data.

The first battle season has started in the galaxies of Next Colony.

Stardust (SD), the in-game currency, is playing a vital role for upgrading the Yamamoto ships and rewards. There are 8 ways to get your hands on these tokens

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the current distribution of SD among accounts at the start of the season and revisit how the distribution changes after the first season.

A measure of equality of distribution is the Gini coefficient. A value of 0 means a completely equal distribution and a value of 1 represents extreme inequality.

Let's see what's going on in the galaxies:

The current Gini Coefficient is at 0,69 or 69% that seems pretty unequal. The World Bank provides some real world context:

• The most unequal country is South Africa with 63%
• Mexico: 48%
• USA: 41%
• Russia: 38%
• Thailand: 38%
• Switzerland: 33%
• France: 32%
• Poland: 32%
• Germany: 31%
• Netherlands: 29%
• Sweden: 27%
• The most equal rated country on the list is the Ukraine with 26%

How does the distribution look from a wallet perspective:

Let's zoom in on the top 15 wallets:

Some stats:

	Percentage of total SD	Amount SD
Mean	0,61	227'526
