371 states share the map in 1510. The largest by mapped area are Ming, Russia and Bukhara.

Ming is the largest state on the map in 1510, a position it has held since 1395 (before that: Golden Horde). It stays in first place until 1534, when Spanish Empire takes over. The five largest states hold 19% of all land with a recorded ruler. 55% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1500: 371 against 378.
