Stadestér is an internal urban database of roughly ~32.000-40.000 real-world cities and their population figures from 3000BC-2025AD, developed as part Operation HALIENNE to formalise the upgrade of both Eoscala/Velkscala to 1.5 and 1.0 respectively. Data was primarily sourced from Populstat, Reba et al., Chandler and Modelski, as well as Wikipedia, with future OSM addition plans.
This data was then geolocated using Google Maps. Manual search tools and population figure patching for duplicate names (i.e. Birmingham) was also applied to the Reba et al. dataset alongside various other metadata fixes. As of 2 May 2025, Chandler, Modelski, and Populstat all have cleaned and geolocated databases that are included for use. Unlike Eoscala/Velkscala, Stadestér runs on a separate CLI and UF software stack.
Stadestér TODOs are split by individual stage, each one numbered sequentially in roman numerals. Note that this is currently of the highest priority to be able to fix Velkscala long-term, as far as population figures are concerned.
