Conclusion: 16.000 seems a perfect amount for a medieval setting.
Yes, if Rettleville was an island. But we are talking about an urban environment that is 1.83 * the size of Malta.

I think replacing the word "miles" with "kilometers" would make the game make a lot more sense. Troops would no longer march at 10 miles an hour--they would march at 10km/hr, which is only 6mph--a far more realistic number.
I don't think an army on foot will ever walk 10km/h either. 5 or 6 km/h is more realistic. That's about 3.7 mph. Not that I want my IG armies to walk only 3.7 mph  ::)

The land sizes are pretty much totally pulled out of a hat. They are correct in relation to each other, but not really meaningful or realistic.
I suspected that. Than wouldn't it be interesting to look for more realistic numbers?
