Alphatia Re-Design Project: Population
by Michael III MysteriaAlphatian Population Revised
Reasoning
Alphatian citizens pay taxes based on the value of their slaves, Kingdoms
however contribute to the Imperial Treasury based on their number of
citizens, for whom the empire is to provide services. Each kingdom
establishes whom they consider citizens (considering no-one a citizen would
result in no services being provided either)
Wizards make up 20% of total population
Slaves make up 50% of total population
Assumptions:
Spellcasters would amount to 25% of population, so 5% clerics, rangers,
druids etc, is likely considering Alphatian disinterest in religion.
Population count on restricted areas such as the undersea city of Aquas and
the Floating Islands would be accurate, so only the type of citizen need be
considered.
In nations allowing this, something like 15% of the population might have
the talent to have themselves registered as an artist (providing they are
able to pay registration fees yearly, have a least one exhibition/performance
per year etc.)
Dense Metropolitan population makes accurate population count difficult, up
to 50% may be added.
The following nations are considered to have Dense Metropolitan Areas
(according to map of same name):
Haven, Arogansa, Theranderol, Bettellyn, Southern Foresthome, Frisland (50%)
Horken, Lagrius, Meriander (25%)
