Realm Size Value

Realm Size Value is a Realm Management value determined by roughly how much area the realm occupies, in square miles. Note that a realm's raw size only allows you to add more things to an empty realm--owning the entire Antarctic doesn't mean much if no one lives there--or no one can!
The formula is (ln(2*Area) / ln(10)) * 3 = Size as Area = e^(ln(10)*Size/3)/2Re: GURPS Realm Management post #64 This simplifies to log(2*Area)*3 = SizeFrom natural log to log base 10
This table lists the actual size values as notes. As with Size one goes with the closest integer.GURPS Realm Management thread post 32, stated as looking correct by book's author on post 33
RealmSizeValue 	Area (in square miles) 	Examples
0 	0.5 or lower 	Vatican City (109 acres; 0.170313 mi²)Below 0.5 the formula produces negative values which is why Vatican City gets a value of -1
1 	1.1 	Monaco (499 acres; 0.779687 mi²)
2 	2.3 	
3 	5.0 	
4 	10.8 	
5 	23.2 	
6Floods usually only get this large. Above this size, only part of the realm is affected. (see p.39)	50 	Liechtenstein (61.78 mi²)Actual size value is ~6.276
7 	108 	
8 	232 	Singapore (281.2 mi²)Actual size value is ~8.250
9 	500 	Hong Kong (427 mi²)Actual size value is ~8.79
10 	1,077 	Luxembourg (998 mi²)Actual size value is ~9.900

13 	10,772 	
14 	23,208 	Denmark (16,577 mi²) Actual size value is ~13.562. This is for the country not the Danish Realm which includes Greenland kicking it up to 2,220,072 mi² or +19.942 which rounds to +20
15 	50,000 	South Korea (38,691 mi²)Actual size value is ~14.666

22 	10,772,173 	Moon (14.6 million mi²);<Actual size value is ~22.4
23 	23,207,944 	KryptonKrypton has had so much variation that how this could be figured is unknown. For example, Krypton in Action 500 pg 31 is shown far larger than Earth.
