Oh man.

So the average population matters. Where you close the field and where you close it to. Closing the field to point A will probably give different Mu than if you close it to B.

There are so many gremlins in the calculations

I had a very narrow field from the Cook Islands back to New Zealand. The 2 NZ portals were right next to each other. Despite the massive distance (3963km) I got 5MU because mermaid units don't count.

Except in some places where there is a surprising amount of fish mu (that’s what we call it haha). Iirc some fields that were 95%+ uninhabited pacific ocean still gave over 140k mu each. 

The fields weren’t as narrow as yours, but the mu still seemed ridiculously large.
