Which among other things means doing what a couple of fans were seeing doing, which is headcanoning that pregnancy lengths are just naturally really weird in Alaglag. And never mind just how long it actually takes an army in the field to move around - just how tiny is this country anyway that they could do all that with long marches in between and take all those cities in less than a YEAR?

Half of France, according to my own attempt at a scale. I'll remember to look into this! As for the pregnancies, I think Elaine's pregenancy isn't overly long, actually.
