I had some free time and thought I'd work out just how much of the Far East each realm covers, in square miles. Here's the list:
Arcaea: 83435 square miles (22.42%)
Cathay: 60276 square miles (16.20%)
Coralynth: 28672 square miles (7.70%)
Greater Aenilia: 43223 square miles (11.62%)
Kindara: 55809 square miles (15.00%)
Ohnar West: 34625 square miles (9.30%)
Principality of Zonasa: 41370 square miles (11.12%)
Sorraine: 24714 square miles (6.64%)
Total: 372124 square miles

I asked the internet to give me this in convenient units instead, for fun.
Arcaea: Belarus
Cathay: Tunisia
Coralynth: Panama
Greater Aenilia: Honduras
Kindara: Nepal
Ohnar West: Serbia
Principality of Zonasa: Guatemala
Sorraine: Lithuania
Total: Egypt
Nice. :)
And if the Far East were a single country in the real world, it would be the 31st largest in the world.
Hey! That's pretty cool. Having a real world counterpart for the size also puts things a bit more in perspective.
Aye, it does. Makes me wonder what all the continents are like in that regard.
Woah. Interesting to think that Arcaea is only as big as Belarus. Now I feel a lot better about Sorraine being Lithuania sized :p

Big Nepal sized Kindara.
After much spreadsheet wrangling and math frustration by me and some PHP wizardry by Anaris, I present you with the areas of every realm and continent in BM (except FEI), along with their nearest real world counterpart. Enjoy!

Some amusing observations:
- Perdan and Suville are roughly each the size of North Korea. It certainly felt that way playing there.
- BoM is roughly the size of Nicaragua. Both were, for a very long time, run by an unquestioned dictator with highly questionable taste.
- Sint and Syria are comparable in size. Which is funny, because everyone else on BT seems to hope that Sint will tear itself apart in a similar fashion.
- Nothoi is almost exactly the size of Greece. A realm created explicitly with a Greek theme. Name, position names, culture, etc. How can this be coincidence?
- Terran and D'Hara are comparable in size fo the UAE. Perhaps that's what all this talk about "occidentalism" is!
- Luria Vesperi is a) the size of the Palestinian Territories and b) totally surrounded and blockaded by Luria Nova. Heh.
Awesome work guys! Thanks for throwing that together.
Quoterun by an unquestioned dictator with highly questionable taste
I think that describes all of the Barony's rulers at any point in our history. Though Edda always seemed a bit less insane.

Er, quite easily I suspect. Isn't that exactly what a coincidence is?

That was more for dramatic effect than anything else. ;-P
Poor Colonies gets forgotten. :(
What? Rogue on Atamara is comparable in size to Belgium? How could that much land ever function without a government... Oh yea, Belgium.
All those lands are much smaller than I thought. I fully expected Dwilight to be the size of North America, not Iran.
Oh, and is it Solari or Anaris who translated the table in sq. km? I need to teach one of you about the meaning of significant digits.... :)

Belgium has had a government for quite a while now, thank you :)

To make trade work on the colonies, we had to mess with region geometry. When we ran the numbers, the Colonies were like the size of Atamara. XD

That was me. I was in a hurry and forgot to truncate!

After how many attempts? :p
Can a mod move this to BM general discussion? That way those that don't usually read this board can get this cool info.
YEah, I'm shocked that these aren't way bigger.
