River Police may have a bad bust.
I agree that the rivers might be too be as probable geography but... If the size represented the extent to which they are navigable that would be a decent justification for their size.
So tributaries etc... might all exist but the map confines itself to river trade routes.
Sigurd, rationalizer par excellence.
It is very reasonable for a map to be symbolic, as Sigurd says. Here is a section of a map where the rivers are drawn proportionate to their flow in CMS, and reservoirs (lakes) are are proportionate to their storage capacity, and lengths are proportionate to the time it takes for the water to move there, all while remaining moderately geographically close...

I really like the color palette choices as well - nicely done.
