Population of Provinces? 12/25/2015 03:49 PM CST

The populations posted on Elanthipedia are from 2007 or so, before the devestation of Lyras. How much has changed from the death of that episode?

My recollection could be a bit twisted due to holiday cheer, but I believe we said half the population of the mainland provinces died due to either direct attack or the ensuring famines, disease, etc that resulted.

The population has stabilized insofar as it isn't dropping anymore, but hasn't recovered.

Do we have a ballpark for P5? Just don't know if I should view it as a labor poor, capital intense province of advanced Dwarven technology and hydroelectric power, or if it has a mass of people just ready to swamp the other provinces. Those being just extreme ends of a spectrum.

I don't have population numbers for P5, but bare in mind there's more economic and governmental diversity in P5 than in any other province. You have multiple states in the collective that come together only when something threatens the whole. For the most part, for example, the Dwarves in the city and the Humans of the steppe are doing their own things.
