I have no problem with a fishing, etc. economy.  But if we have
official numbers from some source to say this much land produces this
much and humans eat this much in the game world we should use them when
possible over the peudo-real numbers of earth's history as it has
arrived distorted to us today.  In short, the campaign world's
productivity/needs may be vastly different than "reality" and when
discussing the campiang world we should use those numbers (if we have
them).  For one, it finally gives us a common basis for our questions
and answers and lets us know where we need to get creative.  This
discussion has already shown any other assumption is just that,
assumption, and will not generate concensus or even a good final answer.
