Market Size?
I've searched the forums and don't believe I've found an answer. In a fictional setting, does the game read the World_XML file to determine market size or is size randomly set and then modified over time? Could Tokyo ever be a small market, for example? What about in a setting in which the cities and countries in the World file are all fictional?

No. You can make your own dynamic ones, but no the game isn't going to magically make cities smaller than they are or arbitrary ones bigger. That said, the game setting market sizes are completely arbitrary so you could set a market size irrespective of the actual size of the city. It's the "team's market share" not the actual market they are in, especially if it's a market with lots of teams.

If you hold an inaugural draft there is an option to set team budgets based on population. But that's the only place in the game where you can do that. Running this will set the market size based on data in the world database.
On the draft rules page change "Draft with fixed budgets" to yes. At the bottom there's a button "Adjusts Budgets Using City Population"
