Difficult problems are not insurmountable.
Yes, we would (will!) not know about some Talossan deaths - but we could consider some suggestions. For example, I have an email address (idkk@idkk.com) and I, personally, am reasonably prompt about responding to questions in my inbox. In my individual case, therefore, it might be reasonable to send me a string of e-mails - once a week for three months - and if there is no response you can assume that I have passed on. We can think of other techniques of probing for information about other "missing citizens" (we are an inventive group). Of course we will have errors here too, but possibly in the other direction.
The system does not have to be perfect, but "good enough": good enough to honour those about who's deaths we are certain, and good enough to show our citizens (and prospective citizens) that Talossa really cares about its people - that Talossa never abandons you.
