    @Josep, The PopMax field should be used for most things. The PopMin field is for when you’re mapping at more detailed scale and you want to differentiate between, say, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose in the same metropolitan region and all of those cities are shown in Natural Earth. These figures are metro area population estimates. They are not the sizes of the actual administration / jurisdiction / incorporated area with that name.
