AnswerGalilee was ruled by Herod Antipas.
Pontius Pilate is the name of Judaea's fifth prefect. He's known specifically for presiding over Jesus' trial, and decreeing he be crucified.
The passage this question refers to is John 18:33-38 in the Bible. (specifically verses 37-38) 37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." 38"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. -(NIV ) Pilate seems to be asking a rhetorical question, as he leaves Jesus' presence before he has the chance to answer. "What is truth?" as if to say, "there is no such thing as truth", or "there is no One truth", or "give me a break". Had Pilate been truly inquiring Jesus would have responded, but as it was Pilate seems more concerned with relieving the political pressure be placed on him by the Jewish religious authorities of the day. If Pilate's question is sincere, then perhaps his immediate departure to plead Jesus' innocence (v. 38) reveals a desire of Pilate's to speak privately with Jesus, after having cleared his name. But as is evident, whether or not Pilate's question is sincere, Pilate's immediate concern is with maintaining order. Order at any cost was how Rome stayed in power and this was Pilate's duty. So, to that end, Pilate's first concern was to appease the angry mob and religious leaders (both of which pressure Pilate in all four gospels), even if that means ordering the execution of a man who he strongly believes is innocent. And that is just what happens (continue reading into John chapter 19).
There has been no census or population count dating from the time of Pontius Pilate. However, remember that Pilate never ruled Judea. At the time of Jesus (and Pilate), Judea was a part of the province of Syria and ruled by the governor of Syria. Pilate was a procurator, an official who had certain authority and acted in the name of the governor.
Yes there was a pupet king when Jesus was born his name was Herod.
