Talk:List of countries by population in 0 CE

Year Zero is not a thing that exists
As it says on Year zero, western calendars do not include a year zero, instead opting to jump from 1 BC/BCE to 1 AD/CE. So essentially this page is listing the populations of countries during a year which does not exist. I like the idea of having a page that lists countries by population around the turn of the first century, but that purpose is already fulfilled by the page List of states by population in 1 CE, so the work here should probably be transplanted over there. Yes, I recognise that Maddison listed a year zero in the source used on this page, but this use is atypical and I'm unsure why he chose to do that. WiJaMa (talk) 19:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
