well, the largest city that can be supported (food-wise) is size 63 or 
20,160,000 citizens. That is will all plains, wheet, farmland, and railroad
in democracy, which gives 6 food per square.

If you don't care about people starving to death: I discovered when writing
civworld that size 654 doesn't cause the world to end (that's
population 2,141,850,000). Unfortunately the tilesets don't show anything 
greater that size 99. Also someone who shall remain nameless added some 
asserts with MAX_CITY_SIZE=100. After changing that define the game loaded
up ok, though the citydlg thought that I had positive food production.

Oh, I was able to get 1968 science, or 2875 luxury, or 315 gold out of one
city. perhaps someone can do better ;)
