Upon clicking START you will be shown 5 circles, one at a time, with increasing radii: 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 km. The object is to move the circle to the location such that it covers the most amount of people, based on Europe population density data. You are scored based on how many people you cover compared to the maximum possible (score is based on the ratio of people in your circle compared to max possible - score is not an exact ratio but falls faster than that).
PLEASE NOTE: ALL of Turkey is included in counting population (not just European portion), and the portion of Russia west of 61.5 degrees E (just east of Chelyabinsk). Nothing outside Europe (such as Africa or middle east other than Turkey) is included toward the population count within a circle.
Germany
Also, Den Haag is way bigger than some of the cities on the 540 city game, and it is not accepted.
I don’t get it. I chose 50, and Maastricht is not on there, while the smaller Heerlen is. Am I misunderstanding the game?
Populations are from here:

Netherlands uses urban centres to count with their census.
I’d love some of these for Africa and Asia!
please accept Reggio Emilia as an alternative and correct name for Reggio nellEmilia
what about L’Hospitalet de LLobregat?
Or Hannover, which is the official name of Hanover, Germany? (Yes, I know it’s an Anaconda-Deer Lodge situation… IN EUROPE!)
