Good point, I was using that map when I made my observation and overlooked the cluster of smaller countries in the Andes. My bad.
After doing some back of the envelope calculations, about 17% of the countries in the Americas are federated and 16% in Europe, so it's actually pretty similar. But countries in the Americas have a much bigger size disparity than in Europe which really makes the federated areas stand out.
