Attack on Titan
| Omg mathematical calculations... 0_o Um... judging from how it looks, it should be big enough with some cities, villages, forests and farming fields inside. But it's only a minor part of the entire world. The outside world is much bigger after all, with oceans, icebergs, mountais and deserts etc. So only a small part actually belong to humans. |
CroKiraDeathNote said: Anime and manga doesnt exactly say how many people there is but they say that about 250000 humans,or 20% of population has died. Even more reason not make such assumptions until something more concrete and official is stated. Speculation is fine as long as it's not taken as fact. |

 I believe the point of the sketches is to generally give a better idea of the world SnK takes place - a sufficient, but not abnormally large corner in an unknown world, where losing one of the Walls to the titans is worse than plagues, low technology, and poverty/hunger taken together. It can happen really fast and it's almost impossible to predict the attacks. One of the things that seems to be rare is salt, which is the only thing I'd consider essential for normal human physiology and well-being, but they somehow managed with what they had for 100 years of "peace". |

voll said: Where do you suppose they get their salt? From hickory trees? Do they only have freshwater inside the walls? Yes to the last question. When Armin tells Eren about the outside world from the book, Eren doesn't believe him that salt water exist. |
| ^ Seems so, because Armin had to explain to Eren what "sea" is (according to the book he found about the outside world) with so much salt in it that it cannot be depleted by the traders. I see at least one big lake on the sketch above, so I assume they use rock salt from evaporating lakes (more or less saline because of the minerals), wells, or, idk, digging it. By far, it looks like a precious trade. Ninja'd. |

Salt shouldn't really be that hard to find, the easiest way is evaporating sea water in pens and scaping the salt left over, however rock salt is fairly common anywhere in the world where land has been under the sea at some point, it'll probably needs mining so it'd pretty labor intensive. |

There's no sea within or near the wall. So rock salt is most likely |
lalami02 said: And what exactly makes you think that the anime is set in Japan? its probably in European country or something coz if you look close enough you will notice that most of the people in the anime have blonde or light hair color, which is not an asian trait :| Thats quite obvious because of the names the characters have. |
