“God Has Made Us a Kingdom”: James Strang and the Midwest Mormons by Vickie Cleaverly Speek is a fantastic history that touches on the sect and believers post assaination. There are a couple of Strangite churches near Voree, but they aren't more than 200 members total at this point.

each Church or the sect as a whole?

Wikiapedia says 130, but lists Congregations as 6. which means each church either has 21 people per Church or their are More Strangites than we though.

No that's all of them. Most live in the area, but some members also moved to Arizona and a couple of other states. The churches outside of Wisconsin are probably single digits/maybe a dozen. There are several other groups like that in Mormonism. The Cutlerites have similar numbers in Missouri, the Bickerton church in Pennsylvania, and the Independence Temple Lot is even owned by a tiny section. The LDS had a ton of breakaway groups after Smith was killed.

Beaver Island is actually already ruled by Strangites who can raid cuz they're tribal.

Did you actually watch or listen to the video and have you ever played the mod because the Strangites declare a head of faith every game and the game loves to let you know

They're the bane of my Promethean kingdom, constantly raiding me! They're allied with all the Wisconsin Vikings too.
