Hmm

L=50

35K/50=700.

So

700L people.

I don’t know that the Romans had a numeral higher than M; I suppose they might have said that Liechtenstein has XXXV Ms of people.

I know this is MMXIV, but I’ve been playing with Roman numerals since MCMLXXII or so and even tried to figure out the old mathematical computations on a checkerboard pattern (the reason the British Treasury is called the “Exchequer”), with mixed and now half-forgotten results.
