I just want to say that you are probably putting more effort into making this map realistic than many game makers would such as the makers of risk.
Don't get to down if you can't get the map perfect. As someone said; the fact the earth is a curve makes it nearly impossible to get a accurate representation of 2d flat.
Most 2d maps actually end up squeezing and scrunching in asia while the southern parts of the world end up appearing larger then they may actually be. Its a weird effect that has to deal with the fact that the source is a curve.
When people say that their particular area is much larger than what you have, keep in mind that not all maps are built alike. Their map may have the country or area has being shown bigger, but other maps may not. Also when you change the map from its source image you are using(google maps), it may end up messing it up since you are using someone else s source map to change your map.
Its a complicated process for perfection, if not impossible. Don't strain yourself for perfection.
