DBWI: Reverse smallest/largest countries

As it stands, the largest country in the world is the Papal Empire, and the smallest is Muscovy. Find a way, somehow, to reverse this, so that the PE is the smallest and Muscovy is the largest.:D
 
Easy, execute Jesus Christ as a younger man instead of allowing him to ascend to superhuman abilities and immortality after the second coming of Abraham.
 
Have some sort of 'change' in Christianity so that nations don't value the Pope as much. It would have to happen in the 1300s or so. And the nations who still believe in original Christianity would value the pope less by 1600 or so. I might be a few centuries off though on both.

And maybe, after that happens, the citystate of Muscovy could fight back against the Mongolian Empire?
