Population is increased by the number of cities and the number of zones each city has.
Zone Type | Population Increase |
---|---|
City (Base) | 100 |
Residential | 10,000 |
Commercial | 2,400 |
Industrial | 2,600 |
Civic | 4,000 |
Land |
1,000,000 (for every 1,000,000 sq km) |
Because a new city has one of each zone, a new city starts with a population of 19,100.
The max number of zones a cities can have, with a max land area of 5,000,000 sq km provides each city with the opportunity of a maxed population of 195,000,100 people.
Certain events increase your population. This does not increase the number of citizens in your city, but does change your national population.
