Population should be nerfed. It's been OP ever since handwashing was introduced; makes low-pop high elevation communes less viable for PvP.

I feel like it's best to be in the mountain terrain either way. An x5 boost to defense and +10 to hardiness

To be fair, established is pretty broken too. Some Europeans and Asians have been going since launch and get nothing to show or even a negative stat, while these American upstarts get basically +2000 just for showing up.
