That's the way it's been in all TW games so far...

Take M2TW, the enourmous russian steppes are made up of roughly the same number of provinces as north italy... And RTW had a dozen provinces in Greece, in M2TW it was reduced to just a few...

I'm hoping for an EU3-like number of provinces though, where it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to conquer more than a tenth of the map by the end of the game...
