I did this in True Size Of:

I didn't include a few northern regions for New Kingdom Egypt, because they were a pain to move with my phone, but I also included all of Egypt which covers a lot of desertic area that probably wasn't under any strong state control.

Couldn't find La Paz in Bolivia with the website.

But it should give a pretty good idea.

EDIT:

Ok even better:

That is impressive and I'll admit I forgot about Japan and Vietnam in my "weirdly vertical countries" list. But still yeah it's not even close in any count.
