Ivan, if it might help with the task of population density, NASA SEDAC has some population estimates from 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 on a 30 arcsecond resolution. I don't know if those are easy to use in your format, but some structured data does exist, even if it's an estimate. Easier than doing it yourself! :)

I'm excited! I have two more suggestions/questions:
4. Early warning/RADAR detection and integration into plan execution. With this you could simulate Launch Under Attack and explore the influence of asset basing and RADAR sites on strategic stability.
5. Bomber interception. Related to 4, and I know you've been asked about ABMs in the past, but fighters and SAMs are a lot more plentiful and capable of intercepting bomber missions compared to anti-ballistic missiles. This would allow you to look at standoff capabilities in more detail, for example.
I have some suggestions for additional KML support:
1. A way to add locations en-masse. I found I very much wanted this when working on soviet missile fields, some of which have almost a hundred silos. That's 200 clicks, assuming I don't mess up, for just one field! If we could add an entire folder to the Locations to place that would save me a lot of trouble.
2. A way to remove locations from the active locations. Oops, I clicked on a silo #99 too many times and it's in the list twice, now I have to go back to the beginning. This would also be a time saver.
When I'm done I'll upload a scenario representing the situation in November 1983.
While I'm at it, some pie-in-the-sky suggestions are to be able to mod population density (for example, to go back in time) and countries (also to go back in time to include the USSR, DDR, BRD, etc).
This is an excellent tool, I am amazed already at what you've done.
