I've compiled a new JSON for population data that I serve on my own server. The file is the same as the one provided by Geonames, but all populations have been updated to the numbers found on Wiki. Territories that have no permanent residents have a population of 0. And I've changed the key "geonames" to "data".

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think we want to change our population source without warning.
Should we build this into an optional query parameter?
However, if enough users are fine with this as it is I'll merge it.
So if anyone has a problem with this change please leave a comment on the PR or associated issue.

I do like that idea because it also gives an easy way for a fallback in case a source goes down |
