==Population Limitation== Generally people living in Rural areas will either be in farm or small villages/communities of a few hundred. But villages vary in size from place to place. So we will put some rough guidelines for how big a village may be before it is considered a 'small town'. <i><blockquote> According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2000, "<b>Rural areas comprise open country and settlements with fewer than 2,500 residents</b>." [http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/fttn99/glossary.html] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_area#United_States] So generally we could consider only people living in villages/communities of less than 2,500 to be rural. However, exceptions can be made up until '''a maximum of around 5,000 persons''' based on the following definitions: "A rural community is defined as an area with a population of fewer than 2,500 people or a population between 2,500 and 6,000 people" [http://www.i395-rt9-study.com/glossary.html] and rural being defined as "areas with populations of 5,000 or less" according to The Rural Highway Public Transportation Administration, in the U.S. </blockquote></i> There are always exceptions and accepting or not accepting a person on the map will be left to the moderator's discretion. If there's a problem, don't hesitate to refer to the coordinators.
