Okay, I screwed up my math, I only calculated it one dimensionally. ;)
However, it is *still* pretty small. You can see my map sketch here:

These countries are many hundreds of miles across. As it is, using the Star
Wars Sets' ratio, each realm is only about a fifth the size of Washington DC.
This just feels very small to me. I didn't expect us to fully create our own
realms in our own homes. I expected that we'd be creating scenes that would be
placed in specific areas in our realms.
