Can you imagine what the world population would appear like in 10 rows times 6 stretched across this map and on around the rest of the world (not shown). Rows each 3ft wide10 x 6 = 60 rows x 3ft is 180 ft wide. But to scale they would be like a 12 lane freeway 180 ft in width. Try to imagine that freeway as a line on map below (Fig.1). It would be too small to see. So it is much easier to see scale in one crowd on an island. That one Hawaii Island is about 65 miles across.

1 Amazing World Population Comparison
The picture below is from World Book Encyclopedia 1977 edition
On a World MAP 25ft wide Hawaii Would be about 3/4in. across, and on a map that big, 180 feet wide to scale (10 people wide x 6 rows x 3 foot wide) would be about .00075in (a line thickness too small to draw). So it would not be able to show even all on a 25ft wide map of the world even if you put all 60 rows of people as one line.
