Of course, since the sourcebooks do not state specifically what the
populations might actually be, this is left to us, the individual DMs.
Personally, I assume Rennaisance technology, without the population (I also
envision Cerilia as being a continent quite a bit smaller than Australia,
too). After all, their religions aren't necessarily encouraging people to go
out and have large families.

I think when I measured it out a while back Cerilia was about a third
the size of Australia or something like that. It certainly isn't a big
continent. It could support a lot more people than Australia though,
with Austalia being very dry for the most part.
