ChairmanHal Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'm trying to come up with the formula for calculating the population per square mile for a spreadsheet and well...let's just say I'm not coming up with what the game says. How is it calculated in game? What is the formula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaPirate Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Total population (soldiers included) / total land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Rupert Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Population density is determined by taking Total Population (Working Citizens + Soldiers) divided by Total Miles (Miles in Purchases + in Modifiers + in Growth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanHal Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Population density is determined by taking Total Population (Working Citizens + Soldiers) divided by Total Miles (Miles in Purchases + in Modifiers + in Growth). Correct. Thanks! It was the "miles diameter" that was throwing me off. If you take that literally, thus calculating the square miles as: square miles = (miles diameter/2) squared times Pi Then my nation with a 3,582.709 miles diameter would end up being a bit over 10 million square miles. With a population of 76,975 Supporters, you end up with a population density of .008. Thing is, the 'My Nation Map' implies that it should be interpreted as miles diameter as well, based on circle it draws to display the theoretical boundaries of your nation.
