ditto the remarks from hammy (no relation?) and alb regarding roads and
deliveries.  we are running a 128x128(64 really) world, and my country
is 1100+ sectors, of which 200+ are roads/bridges/bridgeheads.  that's
roughly 1 road sector for every 4 other sectors (including the unproductive
mountains i'm populating).  i haven't actually calculated it, but i suspect
my mean-distance-to-road is about 3.  i have one large ring road roughly
parallel to my shoreline (a pear shape), with several cross connections
to feed outward produce from the interior.  the ring circulates c/f/d/o/l/h
around&around, with thresholded taps into 10 warehouses.  feeding into the
ring from outside are 2 spurs that jump the 1- and 2- sector straits that
seperate my mainland from nearby islands (i'm working on an around-the-world
highway right now -- just a couple more bridges to go!).
