(Don't be so surprised by the population figures. Back when I played WoW, Blizzard explicitly stated that Azeroth was modeled on an Earth about ten percent of its size. The level-60 version after the level-45 open beta ended was called the Earth era. Besides, I have said more than once earlier on that Azeroth's population in this book is set at roughly 200-400 million. After the Second and Third Wars, there might not be as many as 400 million left, but there are at least 100-200 million.
Also, I based my population figures on the ratio of soldiers to civilians. I set Azeroth's average ratio at around 1 to 220, with humans at roughly 1 to 250-260 and elves at 1 to 180-200. So, working backward from the size of the armies gave me a population in the hundreds of millions.
There are also two points that need explaining. First, every country and race has different requirements for soldiers. By human military standards, for example, practically every Night Elf and Troll would qualify as a soldier, so naturally each country's proportion of soldiers differs. Second, the troop numbers here use a uniform standard: soldiers who can go straight onto the battlefield. They do not include other supporting personnel. After all, soldiers do not fight alone; they need other personnel working with them to constitute a complete army.
I am only giving a brief explanation of these settings here. If I went into detail about my settings, I probably couldn't finish even in several chapters, so this is just a brief explanation. If you have questions, you can leave them in the comments.
Thank you all for your support. The author bows in gratitude.)
Now only Stormwind City had yet to state its position. Its representative had quite a headache himself.
