"Whether it's a small country or not depends on how you calculate it."
Leon began explaining:
"Those over 400,000 square kilometers of land are not directly occupied by the Crolock Kingdom, most of it is rented from other kingdoms and city-states, so it won't appear on any map, even the Crolock Kingdom doesn't acknowledge it.
Officially, the territory recognized by the Crolock Kingdom consists of only these 800 or so districts, and only the residents of these districts are considered citizens of the Crolock Kingdom, so you wouldn't be wrong to call it a small country."
"Not small, not small at all."
Upon hearing this, Algie quickly shook his head and said:
"No matter how you calculate it, a country that effectively controls over 400,000 square kilometers cannot be considered small... But if the real controlled area is so large, why doesn't the Crolock Kingdom simply acknowledge these places?"
Because that's the most profitable way.
