1/100,000th Scale World
[At the top of the image, inside the panel, a large title is floating in the air.] RULES For visitors to my 1/100,000th scale world 1 meter = 100 km, 1 ft=100,000ft≈20 miles
[Each of the following rules is written near a character or point of interest on the map.]
[Dark-colored aurorae are floating in the air.] Our aurora are probably non-toxic but please stop trying to taste them
[Ponytail is kneeling and breaking off part of an ice cap. In her other hand, she holds a wine glass.] No breaking off pieces of the ice caps to put in your drink
[At around ankle height, a mountain is shown.] Do not step on Mount Everest
[A relatively small ocean is shown on the right of Mount Everest.] Caution! [A pictogram of a person slipping.] Ocean floor slippery when wet
[A cell coverage icon with one cell bar.] Warning: Limited cell network coverage above the ionosphere. Crouch down to get more bars
[Megan is facing the aurorae. Thin horizontal lines are at her knees.] Wear sunscreen; the ozone layer only protects you below the knees.
[Cueball is standing with three meteors whizzing both at and away from him.] Beware of chest-level meteors
[A dotted line is at the Cueball from the last rule's chest.] -100°C mesopause vest recommended
[A wine glass is resting on the ground near a shallow depression.] If Lake Tahoe or the Dead Sea dries up, refill them with this 5oz wine glass
[​Another Cueball is standing, holding both hands up to his face.] Safety glasses required for protection from reentering spacecraft Cueball: OW! (off-panel voice): What? Cueball: I got a Soyuz in my eye
[A tornado-shaped lightning sprite is hovering over a cloud.] Do not anger the sprites
[A dotted line weaves belowground.] Please stop digging through the Moho. Staff are tired of cleaning up large igneous provinces.
[An arrow pointing above the panel top.] ISS (14 feet up) Returns every 90 minutes Hit it with a Nerf dart, win a prize!

This comic is the second in the Scale World series.
Randall has another seemingly complete scale model of Earth , this time at a smaller scale of 1:100,000 – that is, 1 meter in this scale world represents 100,000 meters in the real world. (This is one tenth the size of his previous scale world .) Again, real-world features and phenomena are depicted at scale and labeled with warnings. Details on the various remarks are in the table below.
The title text states that the floor should be slightly curved. In fact, given that the model in the comic is about 10 meters long, it represents about 1000 km of Earth, which spans about 9 degrees of a great circle. Therefore, if the model wasn't larger than the part shown in the panel, its edges would have a very noticeable slope of 4.5 degrees. What's more, the note that they haven't invented artificial gravity reveals that the scale worlds are nothing more than a mundane model, rather than some supernatural phenomenon that allows giants to roam about the surface of the Earth.
