V The King Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 33 Million is not nearly enough for the size of my nation. :/I use about 450 Million as a figure. Based off of Real-Life statistics. I'd say the IRL population of your territory is 250-300 million, but assume growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsage Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah, but keep in mind I have a big chunk of Columbia, too. And The Dominican Republic, and Haiti, and the Caribbean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynneth Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 How many people live on the Australian Continent anyway? Wiki reveals: Roughly 21 million. (That which is IRL aussieland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabioviejo Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Ah, thanks. So I have room to expand my population a bit... 21 million gives you a density of 7.3/sq mi, even when IRL approximately 60% is concentrated in and around the mainland state capitals of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

At the same population density as germany - 230/km² or 596/sq mi - Australia would have a population of 1,767,975,500 1.7 billion. Quite a bit.

King Hendrix Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 As I see it: The United States has 140 million working and tax paying citizens. The country overall has about 300million. Assuming America has an average working to non working ratio among developed countries, use 15/7 as a good way to figure your population. So if you have 100 working citizens you use 15/7=x/100. x is you total population and solve for it. So assuming you have 100 working citizens and using the 15/7 ration to total pop/working pop: 15/7=x/100 7x=1,500 x=1,500/7 x=~214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiplying the IG taxpaying citizens by 200 (a little simpler) instead of 100 gives me a much more reasonable population and about what I was aiming to increase it to.

V The King Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 At the same population density as germany - 230/km² or 596/sq mi - Australia would have a population of 1,767,975,500 1.7 billion. Quite a bit. Considering that Germany is packed with fertile land while most of Australia is quite arid or desert, Australia would probably not be able to reach said density.

V The King Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Well, but using the USA's pop density stats from Wikipedia wouldn't be accurate for New England, so... Take your population and divide by area...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalissimo Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have always ignored CNRP population modifiers, otherwise my population would be much higher than I prefer to play Procinctia = 20,000-ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah. Obviously, this was just a hypothetical situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
