Firaxis:Fix population density
There are 2 billion people in China. There are 1.2 billion people in India. But in Civ games, it is impossible to have that many people in an area the size of those respective countries. FIRAXIS, can you please make the population density more accurate and realistic?

Yeah there's also no way you can get around 50 million people, or however many people Japan has, on that tiny little island in world map.

Just make a real big world map and you can fit the cities. But I really think this is an issue of fun VS realism.

Not quite.
China's National Bureau of Statistics has reported that mainland China's population totaled 1.266 billion [in 2000], an increase of 132 million over the 1990 total.
The total population of India as at 0:00 hours on 1st March 2001 stood at 1,027,015,247 persons.
both from pages reached by asking "what is the population of " on "www.askjeeves.com"
I have no issues with the main point of the post however.

Or to make it more realistic and fun make a new realistic but still fun population model. Wow, I must be a genius to think of that.

Japan Population
Actually TechWins, as of the early 1990's Tokyo, Japan was the largest city in the world, boasting a pop. of 25 million, and currently the nation, with a landmass about the size of California, has nearly half the population of the United States. And I wholeheartedly agree, the population as well as the productivity need to be more realistic. Real world maps are always ridiculous for WW2 scenarios, because Japan and Britian, two major industrial centers, are too weak compared to countries with room to spread out, say, in africa.
