# Population Density

Population Density is the average number of people per square mile.

## ImportanceEdit

Population Density is an important factor in controlling disease. The higher a nation's Population Density, the higher the disease rate (which will lower the nation's actual population, lowering gross income).

Recommended Population Density for each city is 50 people per square mile unless a hospital is present in that city.

## FormulaEdit

The formula used for population density when factoring Disease is different than the actual population density. The reason for this, is that Disease (based on Population Density) will kill a percentage of the Base Population, lowering the displayed Population Density. If there was no difference, the formula would feed back on each other.

### Population Density Formula for EquationsEdit

$Population Density = \frac{Base Population}{LandArea}$
$Population Density = \frac{( Infrastructure \times 100 )}{LandArea}$

### Displayed Population DensityEdit

$PopulationDensity = \frac{ActualPopulation}{LandArea}$
