[Star Wars] How many planets are there in the New Republic, and what are those worlds doing right now?

There must have been -- thousands? tens of thousands? millions? of planets in the New Republic. The First Order destroyed five of them, in *The Force Awakens*. Why don't the remaining worlds choose new leadership according to whatever the succession laws are, scramble their ships (even with one warship per planet, it adds up to an enormous fleet) and just mop the floor with the First Order?

The thing was, the worlds they blew up included the capital - where pretty much everyone of any political note was.

We don't know how many worlds were in the New Republic. We only know it was smaller than the Galactic Republic, and much more of a loose federation of worlds than its predecessor governments were.
