What fits
- Mongolia is 100% of the size of Amazonas.
- The measured areas differ by 749 km², less than half a percent: closer than the measurement itself is certain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Amazonas is about 51.0, Mongolia about 51.0.
How they differ
- Amazonas also has the larger population: 3.9 million against 3.4 million, 1.16× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 2.5 in Amazonas against 2.2 in Mongolia: Amazonas is 1.16× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 15,100 km apart.
- On a standard web map Mongolia looks larger than Amazonas: Amazonas at 4°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Mongolia at 47°N about 2.1×, so the map shows Mongolia as 2.13× the size of Amazonas, when Amazonas is 1.00× the size of Mongolia.
- Together Amazonas and Mongolia cover 3,130,000 km², close to the size of India (3,151,000 km², 0.7% bigger).
- At Mongolia's density, Amazonas would have 3.4 million people (it has 3.9 million). At Amazonas's density, Mongolia would have 3.9 million (it has 3.4 million).
- Mongolia's centre is 51.1° of latitude, about 5,690 km, farther north than Amazonas's.
- Amazonas is the largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 18% of its area; it is the 27th most densely populated of them.
- Mongolia ranks 20th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Mongolia lies about 51° of latitude (roughly 5,690 km) north of Amazonas, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Amazonas would have about 397,150 m² and each person in Mongolia about 458,850 m².
- Laid side by side, Amazonas and Mongolia would cover 3,130,000 km², about the same size as India.
- Together they have 7.4 million people, about as many people as Libya.
- Counted as a country, Amazonas would rank 19th by area and 130th by population.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- 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.
