We only know how many people and station were in total, no specifics, and it never was my impression that the population was spread out equality. In fact it would make sense not to, seeing as more well off countries would be able to support larger infrastructure projects.

Personally, I assume that most people came from the Alpha station due that huge ring of modules around it, and because it fit with whole English only speaking Ark (btw I think the Ark early version, before creative decision to crash it to Earth, as seen on the DVD, was much more realistic.)

As for Polaris, the footage didn't make a lot of sense (unless they had artificial gravity the 3 shouldn't be able to stand where they were shown.) but I agree that station was likely built to house many more projects not just for Becca entertainment. But if there were many more on board, we never seen a sign of them and I'd expect the commander faced with everyone life at stake bring at least someone else as backup to deal with Becca.
