272 states share the map in 1750. The largest by mapped area are Russia, Spanish Empire and Qing.

Russia is the largest state on the map in 1750, 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 49% of all land with a recorded ruler. 35% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1740: 272 against 264.
