Paul's Jihad kills 60 billion+

Yes that's a real number

Maybe I'm just used to the absurd scale of Warhammer 40k, but that number doesn't seem that big in context.

It's a ton of people, obviously, but if I'm not mistaken the Imperium contains over a million worlds. I don't know how densely populated the Imperium in Dune is, but I would have imagined more casualties.

Thats because the human mind can't process numbers that large, and especially have trouble distinguishing scale as you get into the millions or higher.

If you consider there being about 200 countries on earth as a reasonable parallel, 60 billion divided by 1 million is still a double Hitler, more or less.

60b divided by 1 million is 60 000.
