South of the known world is an island continent known only to the Sea Folk, but avoided by them, which they call “the Land of the Madmen.” Its dimensions are about 3,000 miles (W-E) by 2,000 miles (N-S), with its southern coast less than 500 miles from the southern ice cap in places. 
The north of Seanchan is about 2,000 miles across at its widest, and there is a span of 6,000 miles at its widest in the south.
Seanchan is about 16,000 miles from the southern tip to the Mountains of Dhoom (named by Hawkwing’s armies) in the north-yes, the same mountain range that girdles the world on land and under the ocean. The Aiel Waste is about 1,200 miles across, while Shara is about 2,000 miles (W-E) by 5,000 miles (N-S), with the Great Blight extending further south in Shara than in the Borderlands. Seanchan to Shara across the Sea of Omerna is about 3,000 miles. Falme to Seanchan across the Aryth Ocean is about 11,000 miles. Falme to the Spine of the World is about 3,300 miles. Illian is about 2,500 miles south of Chachin, and 2,700 miles south of the Mountains of Dhoom. After all, it’s supposed to be our world, with all the tectonic plates shifted. 
The world of the books is the same size as our world.
