[IMSGC] Pop'n statistics

Once the People's Republic of Mar Sara, settled by the fabled Starsearchers, Mar Sara was long one of Shireroth's farthest-flung colonies before now finding its way into the Bovic Empire.

Approx. 1.1 million Kop'mar; 900,000 Cedrists; <600,000 Matbaic Orthodox; 20,000 Bacchants; and 50,000 Non-religious.

Why does Yardistan have a lower population density than Russia (mostly a big tundra) or Saudi Arabia (mostly a big desert)? In the category of "tropical islands", compare Madagascar (35/km) and Hawaii (82/km).

The number is provisional and I'm glad for the comment, Scott. I immediately decided on posting this that I would increase this, but not sure how much. I still haven't decided how I'm going to go with the climate of Mar Sara, and this determines things like this. The south of the island is definitely going to have to be very cold (if you look at Bill's map, it's just at the lip of the antarctic ice shelf). Mar Sara definitely isn't Madagascar. I've been comparing the south to Iceland in my head.

The map I mentioned above (big)- he's got it as 2/3s snowy and icy. I'm not going along with that, but it's indicative.

I'm really stupid, I got here from the main forum and thought it was about the island of Yardistan proper. Sorry!

Ah, when you said 'Yardistan' I thought you meant the Ducal pop'n density. No problem.
