307 states share the map in 1590. The largest by mapped area are Spanish Empire, Russia and Ottoman Empire.

Spanish Empire is the largest state on the map in 1590, a position it has held since 1534 (before that: Ming). It stays in first place until 1633, when Russia takes over. The five largest states hold 35% of all land with a recorded ruler. 50% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1588: 307 against 309.
