Not only is it about 1,400-1,500 miles square it's also 1,400-1,500 miles high. And it's on a waterless planet that doesn't have any darkness.
Revelation 21:16-16 (CEV) = "16 The city was shaped like a cube, because it was just as high as it was wide. When the angel measured the city, it was about fifteen hundred miles high and fifteen hundred miles wide. 17 Then the angel measured the wall, and by our measurements it was about two hundred sixteen feet high."
Revelation 21:1-2 (CEV) = "21 I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea. 2 Then I saw New Jerusalem, that holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband."
So there's no sea on the planet which means that there are no islands. It's sort of like being on Mercury or Mars but with a building that's 1,500 miles tall. That has to play hell with the gravity. It would be a large planet with a very low mass in order for the building to sit flat on the ground.
