Sweden supposedly being this cheap makes me suggest they're comparing apples to oranges here (grocery store beers are max 3.5% ABV in Sweden, whereas 4–6% is a more common range elsewhere.)

A map of all Disney movie locations assuming they take place in the same world. Except for the ones off in the corner that are too hard to track down.

Although while Rapunzel is a German story, maps of the kingdom of Corona sure don't look like anywhere in Germany.

A border wall and then putting the capital on an island with only one entryway for land traffic seems pretty excessively defended, but maybe that made the King okay with defunding the royal guard. They go to other countries in the show, but I couldn't find a good map of it.

Aladdin is from China, the evil sorceror is from the Maghreb (that is either specifically Morocco or western North Africa). I don't think it's specifically stated where the story itself takes place except the sorceror collects Aladinn from a city in China and takes him to the cave, there's also a sultan (of somehwere) and his daughter.

Seems obvious to me that the coronan mile is just significantly shorter than the modern English mile, just like the modern English mile is significantly shorter than most historical miles (and by a far greater margin). Disney truly goes the extra mile to serve us history nerds by adding details like that to their magnificant cinematic universes.
