Declaration of Victory: Leader of a Wide, Empty World

According to the rule Wide, Empty World of the Damned, Locations currently do not have a Population Size. Despite three population sizes being listed in Locations, I assert that they are only there because of an accidental incorrect enactment of part of “Rallying cry against the Guardian” which used language more fitting of a tracked variable than a change in rules text. i.e. it stated “Set the population size of the Survivor camp to 2, the Waterlogged Shops to 1, and every other location to the default.” rather than declaring that those lines must be added to the ruleset. When the definition of Population Size was lost in Capitalism Strikes Again (again), these values should also have been lost.
On that basis, I argue that the locations no longer have any concept or value for the population size.
According to Leader of the People, whenever all locations with a non-zero population size have the same non-blank Primary Ideology, that ideology has Rallied the People.
There are no locations with a non-zero population size, i.e. the list of those locations is the Empty Set.
There are no locations with a non-zero population size that follow my ideology, i.e. the list of those locations is the Empty Set.
These sets are the same. There are no locations with a non-zero population size that do *not* follow my ideology.
Therefore, my Ideology has Rallied the People of all zero locations against the Guardian. As the owner of my ideology, I achieve victory.

However, the as-is text did not exist in the ruleset; the ruleset text was “There exists a number of Locations, which consist of a name, a Population Size (which is an integer defaulting to 0), optionally a description which is flavour text, optionally a prerequisite, and optionally some rules text”. That clause should therefore have failed and the ruleset should not have changed, as it was impossible to carry out.
