I can't believe people are actually arguing about how Abe might've been misinformed due to bad slave-communication about Rupture Farms' size or any shit like that. I personally take it as 100% canon, simple as that. That's some pretty ridiculous over analyzing there.
It's hardly over-analysis. It makes sense. If you think of Oddworld as a story like it was intended, you could say Abe is an unreliable narrator because he has been sheltered for all of his life by being forced to grow up then work in a meat processing factory. He is clearly going to exaggerate if that's all he's seen in his life. Rupture Farms is pretty big, and for all he knows it could be the biggest thing in the world. It's not like Glukkons will tell Mudokons most things because they don't give a shit, to them they're only slaves.
