What is their tax policy?

Kings Landing is supposed to be a million people. The North is a sparse population and Im guessing the numbers would be 20,000-50,000?
Of course they have fucked this up in the tv show by making the place look tiny.

I'm more interested in those wide open areas on some of the roofs, they'd just get filled with snow.

Normally I get snotty and irritable over the endless reuse of individual captures but that one really deserves to be sneered at. *I* could build the fucking thing.

yes exactly, i think they just did it for the sake of looking different

moar liek winterSMELL amirite kek

Brainlet here. If winter lasts for a decade or so and you mostly rely on grain to feed your people why would you even settle there?
Wouldn't it make more sense to permanently settle somewhere you actually don't starve?

Snow is unironically a good insulator.
If the outside's VERY below freezing you're better leaving the cold snow layer there as it insulates you against the extreme-cold winds.

starvin is a proud northern tradition. soft southrons like you wouldn't understand

yeah that's true, but what about the holes in the roof?

Few hundred.

The only place of large populace in The North is White Harbor with about ~20,000 people.

Westeros and The North especially is still agrarian and lacks widescale urbanization. King's Landing and Oldtown are the only places above 100,000

>Kings Landing is supposed to be a million people.
It's certainly not in the books, not even close

They had 10k Northern soldiers marching at the start. It must be much higher than 20-50k as that wouldn't be all able-bodied trained men and there needs to at least be a 1:10 ratio.

why is winterfell so small
why is there a random patch of forest outside the walls that serves no purpose except to allow potentially 20 good men to come ruin everyone's shit
where do they get their firewood
where do they get their food

Gib or die

It's the weirwood, duh, where they go to worship the old gods

WF is built on a hot spring, so they probably melt the snow.

It's actually all underground.
That's how they can fit everyone in the crypts.

Whatever they want :^)

Winterfell? More like WinterSMELL.

cause it sucks

Snow clings together and builds up. Only loose snow will slide off a roof, regardless of how sloped.
This is why when you live in snowy places, you have to clear the roof occasional so the weight of the snow doesn't cave-in the roof structure.

It's easier to make shallow roofs support more weight, and also easier to walk around on them when you need to clear off the snow.

or you can just make the roof more angled and let the gravity do the work, you dummy

the soldiers could have been from other northern regions than winterfell

Yes user, let's build 200ft roofs at extreme angles.

Tax breaks to those who hunt extra BOAR

I meant 20,000-50.000 in Winterfell. Not the whole North.

I remember Jon saying to Tyrion last season I think, that there were more people in Kings Landing, then the entire North.

how the fuck do these people farm? where are the farms that should exist outside the castle walls?

why 200ft?

What is the population? 50 people?

I was always under the impression that we're only shown the castle and that there's a town outside, didn't the show actually show that in the scenes where Dany arrives?

Is it possible to hang around up there? Seems like a pretty comfy place.

I am sure there are a lot of villages and towns where the majority of people live. Its just that in case of an emergency the castle is too small to safeguard the population.
Maybe there are huge dungeons under it.

>mfw somebody saved my shitpost
neat

Why do you hate our people?
