Some Anuirean Figuring

[L. Willett]

There are 205 provinces listed in the "Ruins of Empire", which make up
Anuire. They are distributed thusly:

Level # avg population
---- -- ----------
0 1 1 k
1 24 2 k
2 60 6 k
3 77 10 k
4 28 15 k
5 15 25 k
6 11 40 k
7 2 55 k
8 - 70 k
9 - 85 k
10 1 100 k

For a total Anuire population of approx : 2,623,000

The average province size is 1,250 square miles. Giving a total average
area covered by the 205 provinces of 256,250 square miles. Which gives a
average population density of 10.2 people per sq mile, or 12,800 people per
province, for an average province level of 3.5

There are 74 blooded persons listed in 'Ruins'. Whic can be broken down
as follows:

# Class avg Level avg Bloodline
-- ----- --------- -------------
22 Thief 4.5 20.3
11 Priest 7.2 32.6
21 Fighter 6.1 31.8
19 Wizard 7.1 29.8
1 Bard 4.0 35.0
2 Ranger 8.5 41.5
74 -ALL- 6.0 34.2

If 1% of the entire population is blooded, that gives 26,230 scions.
Which distributes thusly per province :

Level population # blooded pers
---- ---------- --------------
0 1 k 10
1 2 k 20
2 6 k 60
3 10 k 100
4 15 k 150
5 25 k 250
6 40 k 400
7 55 k 550
8 70 k 700
9 85 k 850
10 100 k 1,000

Bloodline strength must be distributed on a sloping curve, being that most
scions would be of tainted strength, with less each of minor and major,
with few great, and even fewer true...
I lack enough data to construct a chart showing this data, but one could
suspect from my average bloodline strength (above) of 34.2, that 50% of hte
scions have less than this, and 50% have more - but this is probably a high
guess, as 34.2 is only based on listed scions (which would be a biased
sample group).

For those interested, this table is based on the data from Table:10
Bloodline Strength on page 20, and 100,000 samples....

Strength % Distribution
-------- ---------------
1-9 11 %
10-19 43 %
20-29 30 %
30-39 14 %
40-49 2 %
50-59 1 %
60+ 0 %

This would go nicely in the Birthright Notebook under Demographics

pretty neat!
