Context and caveats
The same 44-state Europe convention applies; the result compares territorial-area sums, not population, economy, or cultural definitions.
India and the full Europe reference occupy different latitude ranges, so a shared visual scale is more reliable than familiar map display size.
The sum covers 44 reviewed sovereign/observer-state Atlas records assigned to UN M49 Europe. It includes Russia's complete territorial area under the M49 statistical convention and excludes Gibraltar and other dependent areas.
