[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7913113, member: 93670"] not to debate with the rest of your post, but the population numbers for eberron should generally be considered highly suspect to the point that most of them result in population densities well south of the sahara desert. There are a lot of theories on why that range from screwup to losses during the last war being massively overemphasized without realizing that it would cause collapse of cities... But a big culprit is likely a result of wotc deciding to multiply the size of khorvaire by 10 during development & failing to do the same with population numbers. Sharn for example is about the size of manhattan but with towers that go up to a mile high, Rising lists it at half a million pop & when it could trivially have 8-12+ mil before getting into everyone living in the ruins the dhakaani undercity that might go just as deep if not deeper based on current day manhattan's above ground population/tower heights & the fact that sharn is not a ghost town. If anything, it makes your point on how silly it is to compare the wealth of individuals to nation states and mega corps like the dragonmarked houseseven stronger [/QUOTE]
