Re: World sizes and such

I'd suggest 'The Great Rice Paddy'. A truly huge bit of surface
area filled with a couple hundred thousand of the million islands.
None of them more than 6 square inches and packed pretty close
together so that sea level there is not more than a foot for
hundreds of miles. Mostly used to grow rice and other such food
stuffs. Also to breed eels and fish for eating. Yummy.
Lots shacks on stilts, etc...

Can't really dig a canal through because its too muddy and would
require way, way too much resources/money... also the farmers
would go batshit.
