As some one else once demonstrated, much more eloquently than I, the land record actually is the only one that matters in a war game.
Yeah that #1 went for the land record but hit a human, homeless, and paid a heavy price. Those two countries were both well set up to get the record, high land amounts, great DR, no need for defense, plenty of cash or saleable resources but 47 just left his country unattended too long. However, that #1 was such a noob to drop all his land. I can not discuss the results of spy ops but both set to break the copy cat's record.
Judging by the AB results at the end, before #1 dropped land, where #58 was yielding 4 buildings per AB on #1, I'd say you can pretty much surmise #1 has nothing left. 90% free land probably. An op isn't even needed to get the gist of the situation.
Also, there was nothing to be gained by keeping the land at that point. As you can tell #95 has way more than #1 ever had by now. And #1 after he was parking lot'd would have been rendered useless for the rest of the round. Unable to significantly climb on the land totem pole. Maybe he dropped it as a way to bow out and not draw attention to high land/low NW - which is a sign of failure.
