I think they start the game with about 40-50 million, which makes it one the biggest countries on the planet. Bigger even than Japan. IRL life their population must have been only around a tenth of that figure. Check this for numbers: http://www.library.uu.nl/wesp/populstat/Asia/koreaco.htm

A typo perhaps?

BTW, since I don't want to open a second topic about it: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161971

I really think this is silly. There's a time graph with a scale dating back to 1835, yet it won't maintain the historical data in the savegame. Makes the graph pretty much pointless and I think that's a real shame since I loved that feature in EU.

Halved isn't enough. In GC they begin with 40 some-odd million people, then in the latter starts 1861, 1881, they are only 4-5 million. They should definitely be 1/10 of their current GC size. Although conquering it makes it a colonial prize second only to British India in terms of population and wealth (barring China, who I find has so many revolts that capturing a couple coastal cities from them works out well).
