Below are the updated population figures proposed by the Role-Play Committee. The figures were decided by reviewing the feedback in this thread to manually adjust the populations of certain countries, before adding a small, randomised increase to every other country. No country has received a population change of greater than 6 per cent in either direction.
An important note on these figures. In the previous update to the population information, a handful of countries received drastic, unmotivated changes to their population. Numerous countries had their populations changed by unrealistic amounts. The most significant changes were Davostan (90.9% increase), Hanzen, (89.4% decrease), Istapali (87.2% decrease) and Kimlien (79.1% decrease).
The position of the Role-Play Committee is that these changes were a mistake. For this reason, we have chosen to ignore the previous population figures for the following countries: Bazgaristan, Davostan, Hanzen, Istapali, Kimlien, Kurageri, Medina, Mina, New Alduria, New Verham, Noumonde, Ostland, Statrica, Suyu Llaqta, Temania, Utari Mosir, and Utembo. For these countries, we have chosen to use the previous figures updated in 2020, rather than the erroneous 2021 update, as our reference point. Hopefully this does not inconvenience players but we are open to adjusting the figures in any case, if appropriate.
The numbers below are not yet finalised. If you have any suggestions about these numbers, or you would like to request that the population of a particular country is adjusted, please use this thread to share that feedback.
