Size of the Empire and the Old World

The Warhammer World is a big place, far larger than Earth. No one knows exactly how much bigger but as a rule of thumb, multiply perceived distances by 1.5 and land area by 2.25 (1x5x1x5) or so. There are some maps showing the scale in miles. These are Imperial miles, longer by far than Earth miles 😅

This means that the old World - and the Empire - is bigger than you'd think. The Empire isn't just the size of a slightly overgrown Germany, it's the size of the Holy Roman Empire and all the East European countries put together. Each of the Empire's great provinces is the size of a kingdom. Lots of room for exciting adventures and horrible things lurking in the dark corners of the world 💀
