    the "median" province

    In the rules of mathematics if there are an even amount of numbers in a set, the median is the average of the 2 numbers in the middle.

    Would this be true in the world of utopia... in case of a kingdom having an even number of provinces?

    Example: With 24 provinces, it would be calculated as the average size between the 12th and 13th. T/F?

    I would assume so, but I can't confirm it.

    It makes sense. Mathematically, if there is an even number in a median formula, then the mean value of the 2 numbers in question is used to work out the formula.

    "median size" in this context means the provinces on the lower end of size. And by size I mean acres with networth.

    geometric median means arranging the provinces in a kd in an ascending order and choosing the middle province acres as median acres and give three times the acres spec credits to all. in case of even no of provinces its the middle two provinces divided by 2 +1 will be the median. however not sure it will take the lower end provice or upper end of the province. yup we won a war but we still aint sure whose acres are taken for spec credits.
