Measured, not judged

Rankings

Five boards over one corpus, measured against 50 of the largest states in world history so that a position is a true statement rather than a comparison against eight things. Largest and longest are different questions, and this page answers them separately rather than handing you their average.

Two of the five boards fuse anything at all, and both are functions of your sliders rather than of the site’s opinion. Nothing here is published as a greatest-empire ordering. The board, the sliders, the scale and the choice between percentile and log magnitude all travel in the address bar, so you can send someone a view rather than an argument.

Every polity is eligible here, whether or not it stands in a succession thread — measurement does not require a predecessor. A missing axis leaves its bar empty and is excluded from the total rather than counted as zero, and a polity a board cannot order sits below that board rather than at the bottom of it.

How to fuse influence

The site never combines these three itself. These sliders do it in your view only, and travel in the link.

Scale

A million km² in 500 BC is not a million km² in 1900, so both scales are offered.

How position is measured

Percentile answers how many it beat, and compresses the top: the Mongol empire and the Umayyad caliphate both sit near the hundredth while differing by more than the whole Sasanian empire. Log magnitude answers how much bigger. Neither is more correct, and where they disagree that is worth seeing. The three influence counts stay on percentile in both modes — they run 0 to 3 and span no orders of magnitude for a logarithm to express.

Every total states how many axes it was computed from and is renormalised across those only. A polity with two documented axes is never pushed below one with four for the sake of the missing ones. Percentiles are against these eight plus a backdrop of fifty-one polities from world history — except the influence counts, which percentile against these eight alone, because coding influence for the backdrop without reading fifty sources is exactly what the coding rules forbid.
