That works for me.

I've been tracking overall population by area since 1444. (FYI with 20%
growth in 1448 Exquaestio has its greatest numbers in Cormenaera territory
{2,594) and the greatest inflence in Junder (1.61% of population). Total
numbers at end of year:
1444: 3,328
1445: 6,655 (100% growth)
1446: 7,321 (10% growth)
1447: 8,053 (10% growth)
So it looks like 80% growth left at the end of 1447, or 20% for 1448 to 1451.
