Good question. I'm not sure how seriously people in this region take the NS-official population values, instead of scaling them down, but I suspect that in any case the value for Bears Armed is actually the number of [average-size] Humans that would have the same total mass as the number of Bears present. Our population stat's increase is partly through reproduction but [currently] more by the recruitment of outlying clans into the main 'nation' now that the latter's established contact with the outside world... Each Bear needs a bit more space than a Human would for their support, anyway, and then we're used to living at relatively low densities...
Maybe about a third to a half of that empty area?
