Create your scene with any orientation or scale you would like to.  Make one
unit equal to a mile if you want.  Just make sure you relate 1 unit to some
known measurement, and I'LL be glad to rerotate your scene and scale it to
match the specs.  The specifications should have no impact whatsoever on
your modeling.
