The world of Overlord's setting is small. We know it, because of the world map. But. If you go back to the middle ages, most people saw the world as their hometown, maybe their province or region. In the middle age, the idea of traveling througout the country, for commoners and nobles alike, was the same as how lower mddle class see the idea of international travel : they know it is possible, and they know it's not for them. Plus the verry probable idea that if they do it, they won't ever come back. May as well say your final farewells to all the people you know.

Furthermore, in a feudal system, the feudal lords have a special instincts that push them to make their territories bigger. Do you understand ? The world of a feudal lord, it's his domain and it's neighbourhood.

If I remember, the map doesn't even display the city of the 8 Greed Kings.

Do you think it took "several years" to explore the Earth, just because we have discovered low tech transportation ? In truth, even in our world, there are still unknown and unexplored places. Just because the Europeans suddenly developped good wooden ships, doesn't mean they instantly learned everything : discovering the shape of the continents and islands, mapping them, taking samples, exploring... Did it not even came to the mind of Anon from June 29 2016 ? So, in fact, it will take several generations for Ainz to explore it all at the verry best.

Also, during the Antiquity, Man already knew the size of the Planet, because it calculated it through it's shadow cast upon the Moon. What you should rather ask are these two questions : 1° are the people of the New World and the NPC dumber than the Homo Sapiens of archaic, primitive societies (not that they were dumber than modern men either) ; 2° do they have a moon in the New World ?

One may also ask if the New World also have shadows, but it's kinda redundant.
