Overall world size has changed see replies #1 and #3 in Dada's thread referenced above in the link shown as "Size of Elyria".
The latest should be 27,648 square kilometers. Caspian gave three different dimensions as examples with this result. Effectively giving examples of a North-South axis continent, a East-West axis continent and a 'balanced' continent, e.g. 128 x 216 for a north-south arrangement.
Beautiful table! ;-) --- love the overlay on Manhattan graphic idea!

Thank you. The Manhattan idea is not from me but from DunsScotus.
I have updated the table - must have missed it when going over the other threads.
Unfortunately we don't know how much different running and going by mount is compared to walking.
If we'd assume protected streets without events happening you cannot run from and look at our world as a reference (which might be quite off because CoE is still a game that has to be balanced), one could assume a healthy horse to trot at 13km/h for several hours.
Walking
Skyrim walked across within 2hours and 10 minutes would be:
- {Skyrim} ~8.748km / 2.17h = ~ 4.03 km/h walking and is very realistic as a value
The walking speed in CoE was described to potentially be 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h) for the 48 hour example. Counties of 5.657km and 6.928km diagonal would take
- {US/EU} 1 hour and 3 minutes and
- {APAC} 1 hour and 17 minutes respectively by walking.
Using the former world size of 256km x 256km:
side length = 256km
256km / (5.4 km/h) = 47 hours and 24 minutes as described in an older Q&A.
diagonal = sqrt (256km * 256km + 256km * 256km) = 362km
362km / (5.4 km/h) = 67 hours and 2 minutes.
Now looking at the new world size of 216km x 128km we have:
side lengths = 216km or 128km
216km / (5.4 km/h) = 40 hours.
128km / (5.4 km/h) = 23 hours and 42 minutes.
diagonal = sqrt(216km * 216km + 128km * 128km) = ~251km
~251km / (5.4 km/h) = 46 hours and 29 minutes.
Horse trot at 13 km/h:
Horse moderate canterbury gallop at 16 km/h:
Horse fast canterbury gallop at 27 km/h:
Now I don't know if the mounts in CoE will have comparable speeds but this is all but theocrafting anyway.
A full gallop at 40 km/h and slightly higher can only be maintained for 1.6km - 3.2km.
But for theoretical comparison I'll list it too.
Horse gallop at 40 km/h:
And now the horse speeds over the entire map diagonal but note that no horse can go that far without breaks or resting in between:
{US/EU/APAC} ~251km in
Horse trot 13 km/h
in 19 hours and 19 minutes
Horse moderate canterbury gallop 16 km/h
in 15 hours and 42 minutes
Horse fast canterbury gallop 27 km/h
in 9 hours and 17 minutes
Horse full gallop 40 km/h
in 6 hours and 17 minutes
Again, this is without taking into consideration delays, survival, geography or game play in general.
