There's no scale indicator, but the scale can be inferred since grid positions are given for the locations. (OK "m" could be metres or miles, but considering the size of the runways, and that the cloverleafs are visible, it must be metres).
In the game the place is ruled by a dictator (not sure how long it's been that way for), which may rationalise the roads to nowhere.

Yes, there is not scale indicator but at least the Airports and others big constructions are in scale with the rest of the map. And in their site, the developers said that the area is "400 square mile island"Originally Posted by cantab
Well it passes the "looks cool" test but all too often people start and stop with that and never think out what they are doing. Of course, many people don't even know where to begin with thinking about the sorts of things we try to teach here at The Guild...they just hire an artist to "make something cool" and that's exactly what they get. So kudos for that, I guess.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Well, I personally have no problem what so ever with the 'Roads all over the place' issue with the island. I have personally been to an island that has roads that far outnumber these roads:

This is the Island of Jeju (or Cheju depending) in Korea (know for having a population of women that outnumbers the men by almost 5:1).

Again, not a very large island (The largest island, Jeju-do, lies off the southwest corner of the peninsula and has a land area of 1,825 square kilometers.) or 1140 square miles. This roughly 33 x 33 miles, while 400 square miles is 20 x 20 miles. So, Jeju is not that much bigger, whith a crap load of roads everywhere, and lot of them Circuitous as well.
