The original contributor's postscript, about "it wasn't built with
a wrench", reminded me of a story of Stanislaw Lem's, in which
Trurl builds a whole kingdom in miniature [a couple of square
feet, as I recall] for some wretched king -- and then had second
thoughts when Klapaucius reminded him that those people in there
were suffering. I read it in The Cyberiad, but I forget which
Sally it was.
   That might be the smallest constructed world. Shadow must be
largest, Terry Pratchett notwithstanding, since by definition it
contains all other worlds, as I recall.
