How does Paradox decides which countries are added to the game?

[Jarkov]

So what you are saying is, that the records show precisely 3000 people and 3800 people at various points and that everything else is an extrapolated estimate?

Oh.

It's almost like that's what I said. Presuming 5 family members and/or other people for every hardworking farmer (generous) of me, you pretty much arrive here:

"15k-20k pre plague and about 10k after. Frankly, since everyone is guessing, my guess is as good as anyone elses"

3800*5 is 19,000 in case you were wondering. If you round it to 4000, you get 20k, which is how I arrived at the number .

I'd be tempted to agree with you, but as I said, nothing can actually be proven and that is really my point.

You yourself said in your earlier post:

Syvret and Stevens (1998) suggest that there were at least 2,000 houses, and with an average of six persons to a house, at least 12,000 people"

Isn't that the exact same method of "guessing" the population - by farmers on Iceland, by houses on Jersey?

Tip: Actually writing 'Zing!' rather reduces the effectiveness of said zing and is generally not advisable when there isn't much to reduce to begin with.

You guys seriously love Jersey, don't you.

I think Guernsey is worthy of addition to the game.

Jersey and Guernsey are just too insignificant. Sark is what it's really all about!

So... this has derailed. Quite spectacularly.
