> the new and thus not particularly large capital
Naypyidaw (3rd largest city) has almost 1 million people now.
Furthermore, the epicenter was right outside Mandalay (2nd largest city), which has a population of almost 2 million.
In addition, the epicenter is also smack dab in the Central Lowlands, where much of Myanmar's population lives. Around 7-10 million people must live within 200 miles of the epicenter.
