I don't think that Earth had 300M people in 1 c.e.
Roman empire with client states probably had population 30M, maybe another 30M for China and 30M for Indian subcontinent. These would absolutely dwarf everything else. No room for 3x of that.

- badcppdev 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_by_population_in_1_CE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_by_population_i... these guys disagree and even have some references.
- thriftwy 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_Roman_Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_Roman_Empire says the peak population of Roman Empire was at most 75M, whereas the quoted link has 13M more, which makes the numbers very suspicious. Even then, this link only suggests 250M population by 1 CE and not 300M. Deflate that number by another 50M and it would begin becoming plausible.
