This is incorrect. Each HALF is 1/2 the population. So the northern half have as many people as the southern half, and the eastern half has as many people as the western half.
Wait, in that case, isn't the 4 quarters view also correct?
Not necessarily. For example north east could have 3 people, north west 4 people, south west 3 people, and south east 4 people.
North and south each have 7 people, east and west both have 7, but the 4 quarters aren't equal.
