Indeed counting the Soviet bloc as one country, and the Axis Powers as well is a bit weird.

Yes, but all of those areas AT ONCE? Or just at various times, you have to consider Empire at its peak, not add up everything it controlled aand lost at some point or other.

Don't be fooled by the number of countries. To judge the land size you
have to look at a globe. The Roman empire, despite having all the
numerous "regions" was only half the size of modern china.

No, the Mongol Empire continued to expand during the reigns of gdei, Gyk and Mngke but when Khubilai won the civil war, the empire was no more united. Nonetheless, the Mongol Empire during the reigns of pre-Khubilai kha'ans was larger than the empire of Chinggis Kha'an.
The United Kingdom was even larger than the Mongol Empire.

Its hard to estimate premodern empire size especially those that expande into the inhabited territory, but in term of effective control, soviet union's conquests is larger than the mongol enmpire
