Map Sizes and IRL Counterparts (Re-Calculated)

[Hexadecimal]

@MoltonMontro

They’re incredibly wrong, by a lot.

Insane  →  8192 m × 8192 m  →  67,108,864 m2
Large   →  4096 m × 4096 m  →  16,777,216 m2
Medium  →  2048 m × 2048 m  →  4,194,304  m2
Small   →  1024 m × 1024 m  →  1,048,576  m2
Tiny    →  512  m × 512  m  →  262,144    m2

Also, the sizes of the real life places is incorrect. For example, Cyprus’ actual size is 9,251,000,000 m2. This means the in-game version is ~0.0453389…% the size of the real life version.

Thanks to @MoltonMontro , I’ve been able to get more accurate (actually close to correct for once) measurements and redo my last post.

Here’s the data:

• Russia
  ** In-game Map Size: 16,777,216 m2
  ** IRL Size: 10,624,889,000 m2
  ** % Difference: 0.16%

• Germany
  ** In-game Map Size: 16,777,216 m2
  ** IRL Size: 222,062,113 m2
  ** % Difference: 7.56%

• Greece
  ** In-game Map Size: 16,777,216 m2
  ** IRL Size: 81,994,467 m2
  ** % Difference: 20.46%

• Washington
  ** In-game Map Size: 4,194,304 m2
  ** IRL Size: 114,846,000 m2
  ** % Difference: 3.65%

• Hawaii
  ** In-game Map Size: 16,777,216 m2
  ** IRL Size: 17,591,739 m2
  ** % Difference: 95.37%

• PEI
  ** In-game Map Size: 4,194,304 m2
  ** IRL Size: 3,516,417 m2
  ** % Difference: 119.28%

• Yukon
  ** In-game Map Size: 4,194,304 m2
  ** IRL Size: 299,775,726 m2
  ** % Difference: 1.40%

• Cyprus
  ** In-game Map Size: 4,194,304 m2
  ** IRL Size: 5,748,577 m2
  ** % Difference: 72.96%

• Canada
  ** In-game Map Size: 16,777,216 m2
  ** IRL Size: 6,204,021,120 m2
  ** % Difference: 0.27%

• Space PEI
  ** In-game Map Size: 4,194,304 m2
  ** IRL Size: 37,900,000,000 m2 (the moon)
  ** % Difference: 0.011%

I was wrong again apparently, here’s @MoltonMontro 's correct calculations:

@MoltonMontro

Hexadecimal had to bail before he could make his post a wiki post so it could be edited, but:

CYPRUS

9,251,000,000 m2 in real life.

4,194,304 m2 in-game.

0.045338925521562% to scale in-game.

The real life equivalent this information was based upon was the island of Cyprus, which included the Republic of Cyprus, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the UN buffer zone, and Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

GREECE

38,854,940,000 m2 in real life.

16,777,216 m2 in-game.

0.0431791066978871% to scale in-game.

The real life equivalent this information was based upon was Central Greece and Thessaly, which are the only two regional districts of real life Greece portrayed in-game.

HAWAII

10,432,000,000 m2 in real life.

16,777,216 m2 in-game.

0.1608245398773006% to scale in-game.

The real life equivalent this information was based upon was the Island of Hawai’i, and does not include the Hawaiian Islands.

RUSSIA

10,337,700,000,000 m2 in real life.

16,777,216 m2 in-game.

0.00016229157% to scale in-game.

The real life equivalent this information was based upon was the Central, Northwest, Volga, Ural, and Siberian federal districts.

IN-GAME MAP SIZES

Insane → 8192 m × 8192 m → 67,108,864 m2

Large → 4096 m × 4096 m → 16,777,216 m2

Medium → 2048 m × 2048 m → 4,194,304 m2

Small → 1024 m × 1024 m → 1,048,576 m2

Tiny → 512 m × 512 m → 262,144 m2

…if we narrow down the specific regions/islands. The in-game maps still take a fair amount of creative liberties, of course.
