Almean Population

[Shades Of Grey]

THIS IS A CENSUS STUDY OF ALMEAN POPULATION... OR NOT.

Zomp,
What is the population of Almea in terms of the Uesti, how about the other races?

What is the population of Almea in terms of the Uesti, how about the other races?

I don't have set figures, but I'd estimate about 600 million uesti. As a point of comparison, Earth population was about 525 million in 1648, and about 900 million in 1815. Almea has fewer high-population areas, however.

There are probably about 100 million ilii, though only a few hundred thousand live on land at any one time.

Elcari, perhaps 20 million, due to their very restricted habitat. There are probably only 200,000 or so ktuvoks. There are a few million flaids and ic?lani.

There are a few million flaids and ic?lani.

On the map, Flora seem to be quite small - is it very densely poulated? Or is there a substantial Flaid diaspora in other places?
Best regards,

Btw, is Flora the native name or the Verdurian name ?
If it's Verdurian, what's the Flaidish for Flora ?

It's both; but by Flaidish phonological rules, the native name is pronounced /'flu r&/.

As for population, it's fairly urbanized by Almean standards.

This is excellent Finally a fantasy world I have read about that has had a 'realistic' population figure for it. You get the impression in Lord Of the Rings that there are only a few thousand elves, hobbits, etc.
Vive la revolution de Zompist!

This isn't really big enough for a topic of its own, so i'll ask it here.

How long lived are the Iliu? i can't seem to find any refrences to it.

Somewhere around a thousand years. (The best evidence on this so far is the list of iliu kings in the Count of Years.)

Yikes!
