Russia is the largest state on the map in 1770, 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 51% of all land with a recorded ruler. 33% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in 1763: 261 against 267.
