Gazetteer of the Freestate

I've been sorta thinking aloud on the Oldschool Wargaming Yahoo Group here are the firmest current figures for the Freestate; Population 56,300 Yearly National Revenue: 2,026,800 Bills Currancies (or Coins) Yearly Military Budget: 810,720 Coins Maximum Military Manpower Pool; 18,766 (includes all able-bodied male citizens15-80 and female citizens 17-70) Yearly Eligible for Service; 235 new recruits Current total Officers and Enlisted; 5,630 Reserve Pool; 2,814 A quick Gazetteer for the IInd Polyester Freestate; The Second Polyester Freestate occupies about 603 square feet. It is bordered by the Sogbottom River to the West, beyond which frontier lies Mantissippi. The southern frontier is the Soupstone River, beyond which is the Ethnically Polyesterian regions of Guapamolotl. To the West is the Wetwater Sea and the Inkpen Channel. The Southeastern Frontier lies at the foothills of the Plaster-Mache Mountains, and The Dutchy of Gross-Montaigne. The nation is dominated by the wide waters of the great PotomacAndCheese River. It's five largest cities are; Polyesterdelphia, pop. 14,075, in 175 structures Heavy Flashing, pop 12,063, in 150 structures Testorton, pop. 11,500 in 143 structures Roach Harbor, pop. 11,575 in 142 structures Thumpbunny, pop. 11,000 in 137 structures 4 major towns; Bad Mouldings pop. 3,000 in 45 structures Spunkdumpling, pop 2,500 in 45 structures Old Penny, pop. 2,250 in 34 structures Smudjegrime, 2,000 in 30 structures Sugulfly, pop. 1,800 in 27 structures And the 19 towns or villages of; Ejectionpin Junction, Pop 567 in 10 structures Glumfelt , pop 550 in 9 structures Happyvale, pop. 525 in 8 structures Naus, pop. 500 in 8 structures VPDCD (Vynal Parachuteguy Deployment Center Delta), pop 480 in 8 structures Vinalville , pop 450 in 7 structures Plufflumi, pop 440 in in 7 structures Featherfall Field, pop 433 in 7 structures Smufftrout, pop 427 in 7 structures Brittlebreak, pop 426 in 7 structures Bognoodle Junction, pop 425 in 7 structures Souppot, pop 403 in 6 structures Brubberband, pop 397 in 6 structures Paperclip Landing, pop 383 in 6 structures Smelfty, pop 380 in 6 structures Nog, pop 300 in 6 structures Dogswollow, pop 300 in 6 structures Slurpsod, pop 299 in 6 structures Stenshpaush, pop 220 in 6 structures 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...
