Back in Terran, he traveled a lot, and he could compare the size to the cities there and he could say that Bleuelle—and likely most cities in this world—were definitely on the larger side.
This was understandable. This world probably had billions and billions of people, too, but it was much more dense due to the dangers of places outside the territories.
