A word on "structures" .
To represent cities in Ornria I use Christmas Village ceramic or resin houses, wooden buildings, and home made paper buildings roughly HO scale-ish.
By the word structure I'm meaning the equivalent of a one story house about 6x6 inches. Two such stories would equal 2 "structures". a large 20 story skyscraper 2 feet on a side would equal 80 structures as it equals four structures a level for 20 levels. Thus the word structure above doesn't correspond to the word "Building".
With this method I can hope to represent even Polyesterdelphia on the "tabletop" or front yard. I'd only need 10 or so skyscrapers and a few lesser buildings...
You might also note that living conditions are way more crowded in cities than villages...
