I don't really see the issue, even in the modern world the majority of countries are much, much smaller than the biggest countries.

Also, the encyclopedia tends to refer to nations as "states" bringing to mind the idea of "city states" and putting a new perspective on MGE nations. It seems likely most nations in the MGE consist of a large/major city, plus the surrounding land and smaller towns, each city state allied with or enemies with neighboring ones. The main nation of each of the Mist Continent's factions would be exceptions to that as they are noted for their size, but they too are surrounded by much smaller ally nations. The Royal Mamono Realm is presumably quite large as well. We also know the desert kingdoms cover a vast expanse of territory, though we don't know the size of the many individual kingdoms within it.
