How a Misreading of Boxes Shrunk Northwood-Oregon by a Tenth

The Kingdom of Northwood-Oregon is comprised of multiple noncontiguous claims. Some of these claims are oddly shaped or only contain one house, which creates security concerns about giving away where a citizen of the Kingdom resides. This was compromised by limiting the true map of Northwood-Oregon's claims to few high ranking officials. This map of the Kingdom was created using Google Maps, in order to ensure it could be easily shared and edited when necessary between officials. The application allows for users to outline routes and areas, the latter of which was utilized to outline claims. After outlining, the application automatically provides the area of the section as well as the perimeter.

The area and perimeter indicators.

This is where the issue arises. The area and perimeter of the sections are indicated by either a shaded square or a hollow box with a thick outline. When Sovereign Carson decided to take the initiative to find the size of the Kingdom, they, for an unknown reason, assumed that the perimeter was the area, despite the icon and measurement unit indicating otherwise. This led to the area of the complete Kingdom to be inaccurately cited as 32 km² (12 sq mi) and the population density to be 1.81/km² (4.7/sq mi). This persisted until June 15th, 2021 when the mistake was corrected by Sovereign Carson. The map was revisited and the correct area was founded, which in total would be 7.51 km² (2.90 sq mi). The area of Metropolitan Northwood-Oregon would also be found, which is 6.19 km² (2.39 sq mi) and the new population density would be found, 9.37/km² (24.3/sq mi).
