Variable: Population Of The Largest Settlement
(All coded records)
Talking about Social Scale, Population of the largest settlement is the estimated population of the largest settlement of the polity. Note that the largest settlement could be different from the capital (coded under General Variables). If possible, indicate the dynamics (that is, how population changed during the temporal period of the polity). Note that we are also building a city database - you should consult it as it may already have the needed data.
