Well, half of it is that FASA just hasn't given us the data about what's
over there. I don't know where the data for this map came from, but it
probably results from a lot of judgement calls and preditcions on the
author's part. That probably makes it inaccurate.

Half of it is just saying that FASA is lacking a LOT. I would think a
waorld map would be a basic part of any RPG universe. It just seems
that FASA has been neglecting it a lot.
