Huh, I can read Canada. I call bullshit on the 2x2 thing, though. This is more like 10x10, otherwise you'd see a lot of smaller communities.

It's mostly not surprising, but laid out like that I wonder how long places out of the historical spotlight have been that populous. Ethiopia is quasi-historical enough we can be pretty sure it's long been a center, but the African Great Lakes? Who knows.
