Major update (16/12/23):

- City data redone, resulting in a lot of new additions and more accurate population estimates. Sources for this can be found in the Pastebin link in the caveats.

- Revamped map: including clearer distinction between subjects and independent nations, corrected coastlines and the complete hell to draw that is early Irish feudalism.

Really good quiz. Any reason why Burgas isn't accepted as a type in though?

Had never heard of Ohrid so I looked it up. It has about as many people now as it did back then...

With its status as the Bulgarian capital at the time, it does make a bit more sense. It lost that status a long time ago and hasn't really been important since then. The population had already dropped to 5k by the 1300s

(Veliki) Preslav served as the capital before that and also reached a peak of 40k before declining and only reaching barely under a fourth of its peak population today.
