Most peole live on the coasts. Population density of Alaska is about 1. (a bit more, I'm way to lazy to look it up. ) For the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming it's on the range of 6 or 7. New Jersey, the most densely populated state, has a population of about 8.5 million, and an area of 7787 square miles (why they can't lose 10 is beyond me...). That's approaching 1100 people/mile. Manhattan has a density approaching 70,000 people/mile. That's all from memory, so I'm off on all the figures (except the area of NJ, i know that one is right), but I'm close. -- David Scheidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
