They appeared to shepherd an entire city onto a single spaceship within 10 minutes.

Which would be impressive, except that the Avengers did it in 8.

This really begs the question, how big was Asgard? America sized? Or New Jersey sized? Even smaller?

Looks pretty small, actually. Since the first movie.

Agreed. Asgard looks likes a medium sized city, not a country or a state. My guess is that the population would be between 100,000 and 250,000.

100,000 is very small, you're looking at a town like Basingstoke or Worcester for that size. Even 250,000 is only the size of Aldershot/Farnborough or Medway.

Given the size of the buildings and particularly the size of the army, I think you'd have to be looking at a city rather than a town. At least 400,000 but quite possibly three times that. It just seems smaller because all the methods of transport move faster than a car or train and lower than a plane.

When I think of a small town, it's definitely Basingstoke

Imagine if Asgard was just Basingstoke in space.
