What fits
- Piedmont fits inside Alberta about 26.0 times by area.
- Alberta is larger by 638,000 km² (246,000 mi²), which is 2,502% of the area of Piedmont.
- Measured in Belgiums: Alberta is about 21.6, Piedmont about 0.83.
How they differ
- Alberta is larger, but Piedmont has the larger population: 4.3 million against 4.3 million, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 170 in Piedmont against 6.4 in Alberta: Piedmont is 26.5× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,640 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Alberta at 55°N is drawn about 3.0× too large and Piedmont at 45°N about 2.0×, so the map shows Alberta as 39.4× the size of Piedmont instead of 26.0×.
- Together Alberta and Piedmont cover 689,000 km², close to the size of Myanmar (663,000 km², 3.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 638,000 km², is about the size of Afghanistan (642,000 km²).
- At Piedmont's density, Alberta would have 113.0 million people (it has 4.3 million). At Alberta's density, Piedmont would have 164,000 (it has 4.3 million).
- Alberta's centre is 9.9° of latitude, about 1,100 km, farther north than Piedmont's.
- Alberta is the 6th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 6.7% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Piedmont is the 2nd largest of the 20 regions of Italy and covers 8.5% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Alberta lies about 10° of latitude (roughly 1,100 km) north of Piedmont.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Alberta would have about 155,710 m² and each person in Piedmont about 5,880 m².

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Piedmont is the provinces Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
