The impression that the UR gives sort of gives credence to many things.

1. Misthaven really was that small.

It really looks like that there were a dozen castles that governed a couple of villages and nothing more. The implicit idea is that most people just live in the woods and Storybrooke portion which can host a larger population. When people were walking one day here and one day there and sometimes to multiple castles in one day, they really were just around the river bend.

2. This implies the population of the worlds to be pretty meager and mostly limited to the castle towns.

There could be farms in the fields and small villages in the woods, but really that is what it implies. The biggest is likely Victorian London (because it’s no England) and Agrabah which appear to be capable of hosting at least tens to hundreds of thousands. Plus, The Agrabah desert at least extends out. Oz is given ample room and is like a minor city, at best being home to a few thousand. But it explains why Bo Peep was dangerous with an army of 2 because the armies really seem capped at around 30 to 50 people and mostly are royal guards as well.

3. They must not be entire earths. So Victorian England was actually just England (in this case London + countryside).
