      It’s not the size, it’s how you use it.

      Just for reference, the largest company that has existed so far was the Dutch East India Company. Didn’t come from a very large country either, but that company had its own navy and it even negotiated treaties with countries just like a sovereign nation would.

        It’s hard to beat the power:area ratio of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

          Now we’re cooking! That’s more like the kind of edge cases we need to prove a point. Exactly 0 km^2 of area to protect, but you still have 13 500 knights. 😄

      The important bits are pretty densely packed.
