>From analysis of the Seattle Sourcebook, elves and orks are about 10-20% of the
population each, and dwarves and trolls are 1-3% each. Generally, about 30-35%
of the population is metahuman in the various city regions of the Seattle
'plex. The extremes are Renraku (90% human), Council Island (34% human).

Actually, that's what I'd do if I were to start a *new* campaign...but since I
started with 4 different priorities, I'm kind of stuck with it.
