The game as a whole seems to try to avoid mentioning population numbers at all costs.

The only two times I can remember in the whole game when populations were counted were both done by Matsuno:
- A field record reference to the Bozjan port city of Martrvje containing 200,000 people.
- A quick mention that 70,000 Dalmascan soldiers died defending Nalbina Fortress from the Garleans.

To put that into perspective, London didn't hit 200,000 people until ~1600.


With Dalmasca's capital city destroyed, Valnain still smoking last time we saw it, Garlemald a heap, and Corvos fresh off a successful armed rebellion followed by the Final Days, I'd say Alexandria from what we can see is now the most populated nation in the world.
