I often ponder about how crowded I should make the fairy cities, then I remember that the
entire island population could fit in a large, modern stadium. So, not so crowded.

When you say the entire population into a large stadium do you mean 70k stadiums like the Colosseum (bottom of the large tier) or the largest at 140k. Because it’s a 100% difference.
Also, in one place 140k people is an incomprehensibly massive number of people. Bigger than some entire cities (including my state capital)
It says in the lore index that there are about 100k fairies living on the island, so somewhere in between those 2 options.
In one place sure, but fairies have multiple cities AND some live outside of cities.
Most fairies can fly, so everybody commutes. (It’s like having flying cars.) Results in low density urban sprawl.
Even with flying, the island isn’t THAT small. There is surely area AROUND every city with fairies commuting to them, but they can’t commute to OTHER city every day.
Also, note that despite flying – or possibly BECAUSE of flying – they have quite high buildings. That makes quite high density centers.
Like others said, about 100 k people. And yeah it’s a big number compared to a small town, but when thinking about an entire society, it’s tiny. If humanity was reduced to 100k individual, modern lifestyle wouldn’t be possible. Fairies have magic on their side though, so it could be said they have quality over quantity.
Actually, if it would be reduced steadily, we probably could adapt. Lot of automation and so. It would be quite a challenge, though. And not much reserve for genetic diversity and so …
We would never be able to do it as fairies, though. With so low population, everyone would need to have high education specifically in topics like automation.
In short, we could keep modern lifestyle, but not the same lifestyle most people have now.
Besides magic, the fairies’s long live is definitely advantage.
Seems she still didn’t realized WHY the Chaos fairies decided to leave.
I’ve been scrolling the lore and couldn’t find an exact reason. What policies make the Chaos fairies so opposed to star rule? Is it really just the breeding rights thing?
That’s the main reason, yeah, because stars decide who get to have offsprings almost solely based on magic utility. There’s also other issues such as controlling certain aspects of technological and magical development, refusing to eradicate the dark forest, and discrimination against dark fairies and dual fairies.
The policies are secondary. The problem is that Stars decide everything.
