This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Note: The aggregate populations will exceed the total population because some states existed in multiple entities. For example, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Hapsburg Monarchy had holdings that were also part of the Holy Roman Empire (though not all of the Prussian and Hapsburg territories shared this aspect). In another case, the province of Wallachia was a vassal of the Ottoman sultan, but also a tributary of the Russian Empire.
