I am reading a post about what seems to be an enormous game. I have been playing SE4 a bit now. The biggest map seems to be the Large and it does not come anywhere close to this number of systems. What am I missing here? How can a map support this many systems and colonies?

This is a part of the post.......

"1 surrender 60 systems 155 colonies
1 surrender 89 systems 250 colonies
2 surrenders 111 systems 355 colonies
1 surrender - a big one (blockades) 133 systems 461 colonies
1 surrender - a big one (blockades) 148 systems 604 colonies population 80.7 billion
