One of the flaws in the LOTR appears to be the fact that the world population is quite small, most probably no more than 1-2 million figures from various races. Even a major city, such as Minas Tirith, can only hold around 50,000 people. How can this be? Why are the armies of Gondor & Rohan so small?
