Ranking Bug?

I was checking out my ranking in the latest UN poll, and found the following results:

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=world/start=13901

Rank | Population | Nation
13902 | 785 | The Incorporated States of Neon Simian
13903 | 784 | The Empire of Marinus
13904 | 783 | The Republic of OMaolcatail
13905 | 782 | The Republic of Foxdom
13906 | 783 | The Commonwealth of Acktopia
13907 | 783 | The Most Serene Republic of Pallidun
13908 | 782 | The Free Land of Rondebosch
13909 | 783 | The Incorporated States of Gildorsvibe
13910 | 784 | The Kingdom of Beepinbeepers
13911 | 782 | The People's Republic of Apanpan

Why does that slight up/down variation happen in the population numbers? Is is a bug, or a time-sensitive discrepancy (which probably makes no sense)?

Time sensative. It ranks at the game update, before updating the populations.

Seems backwards, but that seems to be how it has always worked....
