    See, this is the problem with everyone concentrating on the idea that each area is 600 x 600 miles. They are not.

    The total North/South distance is 2200 miles. So each area (there are 5 rows) is actually 440 miles north/south.

    The East/West is at the bottom of the map is approximately 2300 miles (or regions 21, 22, 23, 24, & 25 are each approximate 385 miles at their bottom.

    At the northern portion of the map, the distance across the top of regions 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 (plus the blank region) is approximately 1200 miles east/west, for a distance of 200 miles east/west.

    Now, the Earth, has a the following:

    Equatorial Circumference 24,902 miles

    This world is 25,000 circumference, so only a marginal amount larger than the world we all live on.

    The attached file is the Earth Superimposed over our World. This will give you an actual idea of how large our area really is, and you can see it is not bigger than all of the U.S., but rather, about the same size as Ontario, Quebec, nanuvit, and the Atlantic provinces of Eastern Canada.
