A while back I put together some basic map files for the whole of Burma.
Included China and extended west to Calcutta, the limit of Japanese air attacks.
I think it ended up at 1:2 to get it to load.
MWmap_c was 12416 x 14400 pixels. Once disected map_c was 8.9MB but it would have got much bigger with all the river detail added.
---- but the problem with Northern Europe is not so much the map size but the number of objects required to make reasonably realistic scenery. Too many urban areas.
