    my previous post was a horrible failure!
    I forgot to hit the little sign in the histogramm to do a precise counting of the pixels...
    forgive me!

    forget the calculations and follow this one, correct me if needed...
    1. According to your scale in the sample: 2000m are ~500px, therefore 1m is equal to 0.25px
    2. I increased the file size by factor 4 so 1m is equal to 1px
    3. your city (including all streets, walls and buildings, without the river) covers ~2,845,000 px
    4. 2,845,000m˛ = ~700 acres
    5. 20,000 people / 700 = ~29 people / 1 acre
    If you'd exclude the temples, streets and other areas from the calculation - the density would be lower of course.
    The question now is, what kind of city is Merridia (According to the categories in the guide)?

    So Merridia should be a metropolis? With 700 acres and 200 persons / acre you would reach a total population of 140,000.
    And don't forget to hit the little sign in the upper right corner of the histogram in photoshop - or you wind up with those curious values as I did before

    If I stare at the country long enough
    I can prise it off the paper,
    lift it like a flap of skin.
