Was this ever actually even confirmed? Neither Knighty nor Xaquseg have posted a blog in years and none of the anons that mentioned it ever posted a Discord screenshot or anything.

There's not really a hard word limit. It just shouldn't be something crazy like 30k.

I've always imagined Ponyville having a few hundred residents given it's a one school rural farm town of thatched roof houses with seemingly no other industry or economic output. Yeah, some episodes have some weird things a small town probably wouldn't have (the clock tower, the big hospital, the dam, etc.) but they're almost always plot-based, then disappear when they're no longer relevant, like something from a meta horror oneshot.

Equestria has multiple large cities and is a huge continent-spanning country, so I've always pegged it close to late 1800s America (~50,000,000).

I wish they'd worked harder to differentiate them from their real life counterparts, but I'm fine having large "modern" cities in the setting. Manehattan didn't need to just be New York with some horse stuff slapped on the landmarks. They could have really opened up the imagination, maybe give it more of a BTAS/Bioshock art deco magitech thing or something, but one can say lack of imagination was a constant problem in the late show.
