POPULUS designed a research plan using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) that allowed the development of a relevant set of competitive universities for respondents in different geographic regions of the state.
Over a five-year period, POPULUS conducted numerous research projects—the results of which were used to design the check-off program, garner congressional support for enacting the required federal legislation, and develop a strategy for informing soybean producers about the check-off and eliciting their support (their vote to continue the program after its legislated trial period).
POPULUS on a pro bono basis conducted extensive, in-depth psychological research to uncover motivational triggers that would encourage people to contribute to this community development.

Plant geneticists say that the tree, a member of the genus Populus, which includes poplars and aspens, was chosen because it is heavily studied and has a relatively small genome.
The Populus genus includes poplars, cottonwoods, and aspens-fast-growing trees that are widely used in forestry research.
The tree to be sequenced is a female Populus balsamifera (fl cottonwood, or balsam poplar) known as `Nisqually-1', named for the Washington state river along which she was found growing in 1995.

 andrewcoyne.com: Populus regunt! regit!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I neglected to look at the subject 'populus' which is singular, nominative.
But I'm not sure 'Populus Regit' (though it's grammatically correct) actually gets at AC's meaning because we certainly don't have a 'communal' understanding of people in the way that the Romans did.
What AC probably wants to say is that individuals exercise their individual wills in the context of a political process and thereby determine who will rule them (and, in fact, rule themselves).
