I'm sorry, but for me there seems to be a lot of point.
The _empire_ being the size of the island of Britain, and Sartar being a tiny county certainly doesn't seem to fit either the population figures, or the intuitive feel of Glorantha and it's history.
Upping the scale by a factor of four seems to do the trick.
I suspect most people will just continue to ignore the problem, which is of course quite a working solution. But if one needs to know the dimensions, then things go seriously wrong.
Anyway, it wasn't that hard to fix (just surprisingly hard to notice, too trusting with published material I guess)
