Neo-Assyrian Empire in 630 BCE, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 2.84 million km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map.

21 rulers, 21 with terms dated as terms, covering 911 BCE – 609 BCE. Median reign 15 years. 7 of 20 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
