Acrobatic-Way-9519 on 06.02.2026 4:38 p.m. If the empire existed today, then the largest city would be Cairo, 23 million live here. I can’t imagine the noise pollution here.
ActuatorOutside5256 on 06.02.2026 4:39 p.m. Were Jerusalem, Beirut, Athens, Sofia, and Belgrade that unpopulated? Super interesting.
usesidedoor on 06.02.2026 4:55 p.m. I wonder why Edirne didn’t grow much since then compared to many of the others.
Designer-Muffin-5653 on 06.02.2026 5:13 p.m. Crazy that they only had 5 cities with more than 50.000 people. They really destroyed what the inhabited from Rome.
GustavoistSoldier on 06.02.2026 5:43 p.m. Crimea, Wallachia, Moldavia, Algiers and Tripolitania were ottoman tributaries
eferalgan on 06.02.2026 5:43 p.m. Romania (Wallachia and Moldova) were not in the Ottoman Empire. Were only paying protection tax

Skopje used to be more populated than Baghdad
The mongols really did a number of baghdad.
Damn Alexandria really fell off in this time period
Key cities in many a game of Civ.

I’m actually surprised basra doesn’t feature.
Bucharest was not a part of the Ottoman Empire in 1600.
I’m surprised alexandria wasn’t more heavily populated
Baghdad was smaller than I imagined for a lot of these cities.
Crimea, Wallachia, Moldavia, Algiers and Tripolitania were ottoman tributaries
Romania (Wallachia and Moldova) were not in the Ottoman Empire. Were only paying protection tax
Sofia and Belgrade?
