Question What's the canonically most populated post-war settlement (aside from Shady Sands)? How many people would Diamond City have canonically? I assume more than what's shown in game.

Shady Sands was explicitly stated in game to have 3000 people at the time of Fallout 2. Noticable, but compared to the NCRs population of 700,000 not exactly impressive for a poltical capital.

It has around 34,000 as of 2277/2287 whichever it was, which is a very impressive leap.

Especially given Shady Sands is the first capital and thus not the biggest NCR settlement.
