For me it looks like that:

Provinces:
1. Abysia
2. Shinuyama/TC [I am not sure about some water provinces of Shinu]
4. Bandar Log

Forts:
1. TC
2. Abysia
3. Shinu
4. Bandar

Income:
1. TC
2. Abysia
3. Bandar Log
4. Shinuyama

Research:
1. Abysia
2. TC
3. Bandar
4. Shinu

Gem Income:
1. Abysia
2. Bandar Log
3. TC/Shinu

Army Size:
1. Abysia
2. Shinuyama
3. Bandar Log
4. TC

For me Abysia is clear leader and 3 next people are not so far from each other, though far from Abysia, who had extremely good starting location.
