What is rarely appreciated is most cases reaching the Supreme Court are business cases. This is why caseload is more related to GDP than it is to population. The USA is currently the largest economy in the world by capitalization. Its court system is also the largest by volume.
It has the smallest ratio of justices.
Logically, it should have the same ratio, possibly a higher ratio as the complexity of its precedence is likely comparatively higher.
