Small and happy: 100 QY/L

= 100 Quality Years / 1 Lives

But what if someone dies?

Sad city dies in war:

= (100 + 0) Quality Years

/ (1 + 0) Lives

Sad city lives in peace:

= (100 + 810) Quality Years

/ (1 + 9) Lives

Sad city dies: 100 QY/L

(100 + 0) Quality Years / (1 + 0) Lives

Sad city lives: 91 QY/L(100 + 810) Quality Years / (1 + 9) Lives
