what are ratios when it comes to visual electronic displays?

I’m playing the game “The Division” and I was reading that the game is based on a 1:1 scale of NYC.

What does this mean in simple terms?

Any visual ratio is based upon a real and given metric (or imperialistic if you use burgerland units).

A 1:1 map of will be the exact same size as a real area. A 1:3 map will be a third of the size.

Think of your colon as a dividing line in this respect.

It means that it is supposed to be actual size. For instance a model car will sometimes read 12:1. The model is 1/12 the size of the actual car

1 foot in game is equal to 1 foot irl. Just to show the size of things. 1:2 scale is half the size. 1:4 one quarter and so on.
