Hmm, interesting point. When we drew the scale we based it on the Genertela map, that being the most detailed Empire wide version at the time. Personally I'd be much happier with a larger Empire, and maybe we can look at that in the distant future, but for now, we have what we have based on the most readily available and prevalent published material.

Good question! Beats me, I think it probably happened at the Genertela stage of work for Avalon Hill, but I am not a veteran of that era so could not say for sure.
Does anyone else know?
