Why is the population of Washington in the game ~8,000,000 when really it's only 500,000-600,000?

Allow me to answer this one, Blitz.
The populations are the metropolitan areas of cities, or as close as they can get.Take a look at Philadelphia or Portland for example.
Zinc, out.

The addition of Washington DC was before my time. I believe it is the agglomeration of Washington and Baltimore greater Metropolitan area.

Baltimore is given a population of 7.6 Million by wikipedia and 567,000 odd for Washington. Beezer must have just added the two as they are just one merged city.

If it is wrong, there is nothing I can do about Baltimore and being the capital of USA (right?) most would prefer Washington DC to be in.....


Having said that, if there are any irregularities with the cities, spelling, populations, locations (except where the city is very close to another city) please feel free to bring it up.

Just last night I noticed Tulsa was reported at 300,000 when wikipedia gave it a 900,000 population.
