So if we were to presume she walked 15 km a day thats would be 450 for 1 month making it 1350 km over 3 months... so if we were to say 1350 km * 1350 km...=1.822.500 km^2(around the size of Mexico)
And if we were to streach it 20 km a day and use 31 days insted...620 * 3= 1860 km
1860 km * 1860 km= 3.459.600 km^2(around the size of India)
ain't sounding that unlikely to me... if someone notic some mistakes plz note em.
This one:"There are a handful of districts in a province. How many's a handful depends, though. Each district has a population of fifty thousand households. Each district has four prefectures with a population of twelve thousand, five hundred. There are five counties to a prefecture."
and this one:"This is the town of Hairou. Hairou is in Shin, a county of Rokou. Rokou is a prefecture of Fuyou, which is a district in Jun. Jun is a province in the Kingdom of Kou"
Starting with hamlets of twenty-five households, it goes, from smallest to largest: hamlet, town, township, county, prefecture, district, a."
"How many districts are in a province?"
"It depends on the location."
"If this is a prefectural seat, then district and provincial capitals must be huge."
According to official designations, a district capital was a city that was home to a district administration, also called a district seat. For administrative purposes, districts were designated as having populations of fifty thousand households, though that didn't necessarily mean that fifty thousand people lived in a single district. Generally speaking, it terms of urbanization, a town was bigger than a hamlet, a district capital bigger than a county seat, the capital of a province bigger than a district capital
These texts can be found here:This world is flat. The horizon is not arc.
Population: 3,000,000 / country
A country is a size like China.(9,600,000 square kilometers)
About 3100km of every direction
The total area of land is 124,800,000 square kilometers.
The total area of the land on the earth is 149,890,000 square kilometers.
It is fewer than the area of the land on the earth.
It takes three months for east and west and north and south on foot each.
A gate is located in this world in a town and a bivouac is impossible, the distance which people will walk on a day becomes less than the world here. The distance which people will walk on a day is about 35km generally.
That's a population density of one person per 3 square kilometers. That's tiny - considerably less than any country in the world - even Western Sahara has a population density of 1.3 per km2. Considering how common subsistence farming is in third world countries - I'll regard any argument based on technology level with distain. Besides - mechanised farming doesn't increase the yield per acre - it increases the yield per farmer.Elysium wrote:Population: 3,000,000 / country

I don't know how official these numbers are, but they seem reasonable.
Maybe everyone in 12k are in the fishing business like on Greenland.Jinx999 wrote: That's a population density of one person per 3 square kilometers.

That does seem low. Then again, this is a world that the heavens seem to have quite a bit of control over the birthrate. It's possible that they're keeping the population stable.That's a population density of one person per 3 square kilometers.

thats enduranceThis is based on what exactly? Looking at the historical estimates of world population http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/worldhis.html, The Earths human population exceded 2 million before 10,000BC (Neolithic times). I always get worried when people start talking about the "natural human population", espeically when they capitalise "natural" - it's a small step from deciding that something is Natural to deciding that it should be so.Titan wrote:Well sounds likely... afterall if you look at the amount of Humans there should Naturally be in our world... it should be 2 millions at max worldwide.
