@CycloneBTW, I tried to measure your country and Tin is actually larger than Russia.
Russia had the population of about 170 million.
I think you can up that count.
Similarly it won't hurt if most players raise their population by 20% or so.
At least it makes me feel less like a superpower.
I have 140+ million population because my mainland is practically equivalent to the USA, xcept the entire landmass is well populated.
Then I have the colonies which was circa 30 million before including the Zanjir islands.
My territory owned from the Zanjir is almost as large as all my colonies combined.
So I have circa 50-60 million people living in colonies.
That raises my population to 190-200 million.
