230 states share the map in AD 800. The largest by mapped area are Abbasid Caliphate, Uighur and Tang dynasty.

Abbasid Caliphate is the largest state on the map in AD 800, a position it has held since AD 751 (before that: Umayyad Caliphate). It stays in first place until AD 868, when Tang dynasty takes over. The five largest states hold 39% of all land with a recorded ruler. 63% of the land on the map has no recorded state. The number of states is about the same as in AD 750: 230 against 223.
