Description
Almost every country in Hearts of Iron 4 has missing population in 1936. This is because the devs originally used census data from 1930 instead of the data from 1936.

There are minor exceptions, the populations of France, Spain, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Soviet Union are correct, but most populations in the game are wrong.

There is already a mod that fixes this by adding the historical population in the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1775042772

The mod makes a conservative estimate and uses data from 1935 because the game starts on 1 January 1936.

Changes:

I am only interested in the smaller countries getting a population increase, so playing them nonfascist is a better alternative and more balanced.
