Population

The Population of a country shows how many people currently live in it. People are required for taxes, the armed forces, a government, and economy. The ideal population peaks at ~5500 people per square kilometre in wealthy areas.

Basics
A higher population allows for a more stable economy as well as better productivity, more people that can enscript for the armed forces, better technological research, and a more stable neighbourhood. More people to employ will result in better business, allowing for happier communities. However, an overly dense population can eventually lead to overcrowding. Population must be closely monitored, and housing expanded to compensate for a sudden increase.
