How do you handle the proportion of your world?
Do you care if it is "realistically big" and "realistically diverse"?
I'm always astonished by Europe and how such a (technically) small continent has so many different people, places, cultures, history and languages.
It makes the map of my world feel so shallow and childish in comparison...
This is an important topic for me because my story is all about travelling, and only recently I realized I can't have my mc travel hundreds of miles and reach a place where people, culture and language are all the same.
