Just because they've constructed a globe doesn't mean they have full knowledge of the rest of the world. Take a look at the Erdapfel: it's a globe of Earth, made in 1492, with the Americas left off entirely. It's entirely possible that the globes in Dunwall are similar.

That's not to say they have no knowledge of other landmasses--you're right in saying they may have cited other places without actually visiting them--but it seems they are only beginning to venture outside of their immediate geographical vicinity. (And when you're military-minded--well, you know what they say about hammers and nails.)
