What fits
- Oklahoma fits inside Amazonas about 8.67 times by area.
- Amazonas is larger by 1,385,000 km² (535,000 mi²), which is 767% of the area of Oklahoma.
- Measured in Belgiums: Amazonas is about 51.0, Oklahoma about 5.89.
How they differ
- Amazonas is larger, but Oklahoma has the larger population: 4.0 million against 3.9 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 22 in Oklahoma against 2.5 in Amazonas: Oklahoma is 8.70× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,590 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Amazonas at 4°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Oklahoma at 36°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Amazonas as 5.76× the size of Oklahoma instead of 8.67×.
- Together Amazonas and Oklahoma cover 1,746,000 km², close to the size of Sudan (1,856,000 km², 6.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,385,000 km², is about the size of Peru (1,290,000 km²).
- At Oklahoma's density, Amazonas would have 34.3 million people (it has 3.9 million). At Amazonas's density, Oklahoma would have 455,000 (it has 4.0 million).
- Oklahoma's centre is 39.8° of latitude, about 4,420 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.
- Oklahoma is the 19th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Oklahoma lies about 40° of latitude (roughly 4,420 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 Oklahoma about 45,620 m².
- Laid side by side, Amazonas and Oklahoma would cover 1,746,000 km², 94% of the size of Sudan.
- Together they have 7.9 million people, about as many people as Togo.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
