250 states share the map in 1700. The largest by mapped area are Russia, Spanish Empire and Qing.

Russia is the largest state on the map in 1700, a position it has held since 1633 (before that: Spanish Empire). It stays in first place until 1917, when United Kingdom takes over. The five largest states hold 47% of all land with a recorded ruler. 39% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1690: 250 against 253.
