China population

[mtodd]

I am new to this game, so excuse me if I a missing someting very obvious.

When I first look at the unit data screen for China, all regions including China show pop of 18/16

Yet on the infrastructure screen, the regions show different but correct? pop figures.

When you add these up they come to 18, ie China's pop value.

Why is the unit data screen showing the regions all having pop of 18?

Thanks for any help.(I am on the latest version)

You are seeing the combined population for all the areas on the production screen. Just think of population as a pool of people that can be used in any of the areas involved - just like resources - but unlike factories.
