But then also expand the quantity of atmosphere...

Thus giving more surface area, with the same gravity.

And then you would have virtually an unlimited amount of room for an expanding population of bi-pods.

Oh yeah... You could also have spherical levels...

Of course only American Republicans are allowed on the top level...All The others are are subjected to subterranian levels of dante's inferno!!!

BAHAAAA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA

See, I really am evil, and all Bible Revelation will come true!
