As it is now, we have it very extreme.

Of course, the further from the med, the bigger and emptier provinces.
I can see there will be controversies on this subject. There is a temptation to put all the info we have on the map - so, Gallia, Britannia and parts of Germania will be divided into small provinces, because we know a lot about them. I don't think it's fair for the lands further away. Did you think of averaging the size of the provinces somehow?
