Patrica C. Wrede's Worldbuilder Questions

Population

• How many people are there in this country? How does this compare with world population? What is considered a small town/large town/city in terms of number of people?
• How diverse is the population of this country--how many different races (human or non-human), creeds, cultures, etc. normally live in various cities and towns in this country? In what percentages?
• Is population shifting from rural to urban, south to north, mountains to coast, etc.? Why--invasions, plague, job opportunities, gold rush? What effects has this had on the places being left? The places gaining people?
• Given the magical/technological level of this society, what is an appropriate ratio of farmers or food producers to urban residents?
• Is there much immigration into or out of various countries? Why? To or from what other areas?
• Which geographical areas are most heavily populated? Least? Why? Are certain regions or types of terrain more popular areas for non-humans (dwarves, etc.) to live? Why?
