500 square kilometers?

[U8led]

I read this in the new FAQ:

In terms of physical scale the game is enormous; the planet consists of ten continents each roughly 500 square kilometers.

I thought the Continents were 8km by 8km which by my math is 64 sq km.

Ten continents at 64sq km would be 640sq km on the entire planet plus the sanctuaries, so I don't understand where the 500 comes from.


Have they changed the size of the continents to 22.36 x 22.36?
