Each count is for the whole map. Every 60 seconds the game adds back part of what is missing from each population, up to 100 of them, at new random spots in its biomes.

Methodology
Tested in game on our own server: the biomes each population may spawn in and the number the game aims for on a 4,000 m map. A spot counts as the biome that covers most of it. A server can change the settings. Tested on the current version of Rust.
