          Small editorial quibble from the former English teacher:

          "Populous" is an adjective meaning "having a large
          population," as in "New York is a populous city."

          "Populace" is a noun meaning "people," as in "The King
          addressed the assembled populace."

          Melisande, staying scrupulously out of the principality
          discussion, although I sure am looking forward to seeing
          Leifr's answers to Klaus's questions.
