*shrug* Population is just one of the backgrounds that should be considered by a PD. However, the only important one is "is this fun?"
It's a matter of preference. I like a world where there has been "some" recovery and Morrow Project teams face the equivalent of City States and large/widespread political groupings based upon things like religion and ideology.
I like to think that my version of the MP Universe allows semi-plausible reasons for the existence of things like (for example) a Neo-Confederate state, Inquisitors, the Shipmen trading empire and Balloonists
Others prefer a world where a few scattered villages scrape a living from the (diseased?) soil and there are no large political entities. If that works for you, I have no criticism.
