cenphol Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Apparently, to find the population density, the total population (citizens + soldiers) is divided by the diameter of your nation. I was just wondering, usually "diameter" refers to a circle. And last time i checked the area of a circle was (pi r^2), or (pi d^2 / 4), NOT d. Also, the formula for population density would be (total population) / (land AREA) For example, my listed population density is 46.10 my land DIAMETER : 2,210.99 miles my total population : 101,899 Supporters, the 101,899 / 2,210.99 = 46.10, which is the listed value. Now, in my opinion, the TRUE population density should be: 101,899 / (pi (2,210.99)^2 / 4) = 0.0625 I agree that this may seem a bit ridiculous (100k people living in Europe), but I suggest that this be changed to land AREA is 2,210.299 SQUARE miles, or that the calculation be fixed.

admin Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh dear, not this again. We've been over this over and over and the calculation works fine and I'm not changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
