I got that. What I meant was that I can't say "There is a Keep in the hills
nearby, and they are sending these evil monsters to attack my army."

Does my history count? If so, I have the makings for a very large area right
there. *However*, I'd still prefer a large, non-lego map with dots
representing any major structure. For example, there would be a single dot for
Caer Gwynnyd, no matter how big it is, how large the town is around it, or how
many buildings I've actually built for the town. In real World terms, the town
of Caer Gwynnyd would have a population of 100,000. Thjis is a major city, and
if I was to acually build it in Lego terms (i.e. selective compression), It
would most definitely be larger than my Castle World "realm". This is, in
fact, a goal of mine. It probably won't be realized for many years, but I do
plan on eventually completing this project.
This is probably the biggest reason why I want no constraints on size. The
current mapping method will render my goal incompatible with Castle World.
Oh, and my Largest airship will be over 58 studs long. ;)

Yeah, but I'd be hard-pressed to call an area a fifth the size of Washington DC
even a city-state, let alone a country. Countries are generally very large.
It took many days, if not weeks of travel top even cross the breadth of England
during the middle ages. A minifig could cross a Castleworld Kingdom in a
matter of hours.
