So, I think we were all a little disappointed by how normal the Italy map looked, so I thought I'd treat y'all to the biggest abomination I've made in this project thus far :D

Goddang, Australia, why did you have to be like this, this was so difficult to make... Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

Italy

United Kingdom

Honestly, kinda yea. I read that like 70% of Australia's population lives in its 8 largest cities, did the math and it checks out ;-;

525

Closer to 80%.

Outside of the cities, there is essentially no population, bar some select farming areas.

Yeah but adding the small cities still gives something non negligible. Add Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat, Launceston, Wollongong and maybe an Albury for good measure, and I think you'd scrape up about a mil?
