The computing power he talks about could be MUCH lower than he estimated, since really only YOU need to be a simulated consciousness. Everyone else could be non-sentient characters that are run only when you encounter them. Other countries and their populations need not be simulated at all if you never go there, and presumably your programmer could interfere with your desire or ability to go there. Suddenly the simulation becomes MUCH simpler:
