[@Chairman Stein] I've been looking through the active characters currently present on the character page, and I have noticed that your population is much higher then it should be. The offical and earliest population census that has been accepted as fact claims your area to have a population of 1,676,534 million people in 1953. The information I have found myself regarding the population of all the provinces gives a number of 1,196,100 million people in 1936. The time table it's on goes back further but has no population information on your province going further back then the year 1936. I would assume that the population would be even less if we go back 26 years to 1910, most likely by a few hunderd thousand atleast.

I don't see any events I have overlooked so I think i'm pretty accurate, just figured you might enjoy some more detailed information on the population. (Don't feel obliged to change things though, we're not bound to be historically accurate. I'm just a sucker for accuracy myself.)
