10x more people doesn't exactly mean 10x more revenue because not everyone gets taxed the same way.
And secondly, with 300 million there would be billions more in administrative costs. There is a reason that a municipal government tends to be more efficient than a provincial government. Provincial government than a federal government. Federal Government than a governing body like the UN.
