User blog:Vannesira Smith/Sizes of the Human Kingdoms: Part 2

As I covered in my last post, I've been calculating the sizes of the Human Kingdoms. This post contains the rest of the Kingdoms, aside from Dalaran, which doesn't have any land to calculate and Kul Tiras, which doesn't appear on in-game maps so can't be calculated. Military sizes are based on the Swedish Allotment System. As with the last post they are very rough calculations involving lots of averages, RPG material and estimates.

Distance from Coast to Coast

 * Distance from Coast to Coast on in-game map is roughly 1.5 times that of the Stormwind distance from Coast to Coast.
 * As the Stormwind distance is 1000 miles (see Part 1), the Lordaeronian distance is approximately 1500 miles . Or about half the distance between Washington D.C and Los Angeles

Total Size in Square Miles
In total, Lordaeron is approximately 725 000 square miles in size. Or about the size of Indonesia.
 * Distance between top of Tirisfal and bottom of Tirisfal is about 400 miles.
 * Therefore Tirisfal, Northern Silverpine and the Plaguelands total 600 000 square miles
 * Additonally, Hillsbrad is about 500 x 250 or 125 000 square miles.

Size of Smaller Subregions

 * As stated previously, Hillsbrad is about 125 000 square miles
 * Tirisfal (including Lordamere) is approx. 400 x 375 or 150 000 square miles
 * Northern Silverpine is approx. 400 x 250 or 100 000 square miles
 * Western Plaguelands is approx.  400 x 375  or 150 000 square miles
 * Eastern Plaguelands is approx. 400 x 500 or 200 000 square miles
 * Darrowmere Lake is approx. 125 x 200 or 25 000 square miles
 * Lordamere Lake is approx. 250 x 200 or 50 000 square miles
 * The Thondroril River is around 750 miles long. About the length of the Upper Mississippi
 * The River Arevass is around 250 miles long.

Population
Note: This is, of course, Pre-Third War

Based on Late Medieval Era or Renaissance Era population densities, the population density of Lordaeron would be: Largest: 150 people per square mile Therefore, the population of Lordaeron Pre-Third War would have been between 36 million and 100 million.
 * Smallest: 50 people per square mile

Military Size
Note: Again, this is Pre-Third War Total military size is between 900 000 and  5 million.
 * One soldier is raised from every four farms.
 * One farm typically has a single family of between 5 and 10 people.
 * Therefore one soldier for every 20 to 40 people, or 2.5% to 5% of total population.

Distance from Wall to Coast

 * Distance from Wall to Coast   in-game map is roughly 1.5 times that of the Stormwind distance from Coast to Coast.
 * As the Stormwind distance is 1000 miles (see Part 1 ), the Lordaeronian distance is approximately  500 miles . Just under the distance between London and Berlin

Total Size in Square Miles
Therefore Stromgarde is approx. 125 000 square miles. Close to the size of Norway.
 * Distance between top of Arathi and bottom of Arathi is about 250 miles.

Population
Note: This is, of course, Pre-Legion

Based on Late Medieval Era or Renaissance Era population densities and considering Stromgarde is rather hilly, the population density of Stromgarde would be: Largest: 100 people per square mile Therefore, the population of Stromgarde Pre-Legion would have been between  5 million and 12.5 million.
 * Smallest: 40 people per square mile

Military Size
Note: Again, this is Pre-Legion Total military size is between 125 000 and  625 000.
 * One soldier is raised from every four farms.
 * One farm typically has a single family of between 5 and 10 people.
 * Therefore one soldier for every 20 to 40 people, or 2.5% to 5% of total population.

Distance from Coast to Coast

 * Distance from Coast to Coast on in-game map is roughly 2/5s of the Stormwind distance from Coast to Coast.
 * As the Stormwind distance is 1000 miles (see Part 1), the Gilneas distance is approximately  400 miles . Or about the distance between the Hague and Berlin.

Total Size in Square Miles
Note: Includes when Gilneas controlled Southern Silverpine. Therefore Gilneas is approx. 150 000 square miles. About the size of Japan.
 * Distance between middle of Silverpine and bottom of Gilneas is approx. 500 miles.
 * About a quarter of the square formed by height and width is missing due to ocean.

Size of Smaller Subregions Population
 * Gilnean Peninsula is approx. 100 000 square miles.
 * Southern Silverpine is approx. 50 000 square miles.
 * The Northgate River is approx.  500 miles.

Note: This is, of course, Pre-Invasion.

Based on Late Medieval Era or Renaissance Era population densities, the population density of Gilneas would be: Largest: 150 people per square mile Therefore, the population of Gilneas Pre-Invasion would have been between  7.5 million  and  22.5    million.
 * Smallest: 50 people per square mile

Military Size
Note: Again, this is Pre-Invasion Total military size is between  200 000 and  1.2 million.
 * One soldier is raised from every four farms.
 * One farm typically has a single family of between 5 and 10 people.
 * Therefore one soldier for every 20 to 40 people, or 2.5% to 5% of total population.

Width

 * Width on in-game map is roughly a quarter of the Stormwind distance from Coast to Coast.
 * As the Stormwind distance is 1000 miles (see Part 1), the Gilneas distance is approximately  250 miles . Or about the distance between the London and Dublin.

Total Size in Square Miles
Therefore Gilneas is approx. 50 000 square miles. About the size of Greece.
 * Distance between the top and bottom of Alterac is approx. 200 miles.

Population
Note: This is, of course, Pre-Second War.

Based on Late Medieval Era or Renaissance Era population densities and considering Alterac is highly mountainous, the population density of Alterac would be: Largest: 75 people per square mile Therefore, the population of Alterac Pre-Second War would have been between  1 million  and   4 million.
 * Smallest: 25 people per square mile

Military Size
Note: Again, this is Pre-Second War

Total military size is between  25 000  and   200 000.
 * One soldier is raised from every four farms.
 * One farm typically has a single family of between 5 and 10 people.
 * Therefore one soldier for every 20 to 40 people, or 2.5% to 5% of total population.
