289 states share the map in 1620. The largest by mapped area are Spanish Empire, Russia and Ottoman Empire.

Spanish Empire is the largest state on the map in 1620, 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 37% of all land with a recorded ruler. 47% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1618: 289 against 292.
