I found it interesting scrolling around the globe with the "cursor" set to the zoom level where it contains all of Tasmania.

That gives me 160k entered over Sydney (Canberra up to Tamworth approximately), 124k over Melbourne, and places/areas of single digits are easy to find in the outback. It also gives me 300k entered over San Francisco, and 1.2million over London. (with easy to find spaces of zero in north Africa).

I'd like to see these figures compensated for population numbers. There's probably 7 million people in my "Sydney" footprint, I'd bet there's 10+ million in the SF/Bay Area footprint, and probably 30million in that "London and the entire south of the UK" footprint.
