The amount of land controlled by each city-state was primarily determined by geographic factors, including Natural Resources, fertile land, and access to water bodies. Political and military power also played a crucial role, as city-states expanded their territories through conquest or alliances. Additionally, trade routes and economic prosperity influenced territorial boundaries, as wealthier city-states could afford to maintain larger areas. Social and cultural factors, such as population density and civic organization, further shaped the extent of land each city-state could effectively manage.

No one city or state has ever controlled all of Western Europe. The Roman Empire, which divided into the West Roman Empire and the East Roman Empire, came closest in antiquity, but it never controlled Central Europe or Northern Europe. The Carolingian Empire came closest in the Middle Ages, but it never controlled much of Spain or Southern Italy and never controlled any of Britain or Scandinavia. The only other state that came close was Nazi Germany, which never controlled Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, or Britain.

The European country that controlled the least amount of land is Vatican City. As an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, it covers an area of about 44 hectares (110 acres) or 0.17 square miles. Vatican City serves as the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church and has a very small population, making it the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population.
