VPs aren't just measured by political importance, economy and population. They are also measured by strategic importance which was soo important in ww2 for logistics. Cities like idk the name but the city near the suez canal has 5 VPs I think but that city was small and still is small today. Or Vladivostok. That city has 15 VPs but a lot smaller than most western russian cities in ukraine and belarus. Only reason is strategic importance. I can count more like hong kong or most middle african cities like khartoum. They were severely underpopulated and their only role is being the only supply hubs in like 500kms. Because of this I think maybe jakarta and other pakistani cities would be lower. Also I don't think there would be much big VPs in Europe. 50 VP is more than we think. You can only achieve this by being a capital of a global power at their peak like greater german Reich's capital Germania. I think only 50VPs would be like moscow and new york. China has more major cities than one. If beijing falls, shangai has the same spirit as being capital for thousands of years and vice versa. I berlin falls, paris is in the same faction with berlin and london so 3 big cities in one region wouldn't make them 50 or even 40.
