What fits
- Denmark fits inside Arizona about 6.91 times by area.
- Arizona is larger by 252,000 km² (97,400 mi²), which is 591% of the area of Denmark.

- Their centres are about 8,570 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Arizona at 34°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Denmark at 56°N about 3.2×, so the map shows Arizona as 3.17× the size of Denmark instead of 6.91×.
- Together Arizona and Denmark cover 338,000 km², close to the size of Finland (333,000 km², 1.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 252,000 km², is about the size of Ecuador (255,000 km²).
- At Denmark's density, Arizona would have 40.2 million people (it has 7.2 million). At Arizona's density, Denmark would have 1.0 million (it has 5.8 million).
- Denmark's centre is 21.7° of latitude, about 2,410 km, farther north than Arizona's.

- Denmark ranks 134th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Denmark lies about 22° of latitude (roughly 2,410 km) north of Arizona.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Arizona would have about 41,260 m² and each person in Denmark about 7,330 m².
- Laid side by side, Arizona and Denmark would cover 338,000 km², about the same size as Finland.
- Together they have 13.0 million people, 1.03× as many people as South Sudan.
- Counted as a country, Arizona would rank 73rd by area and 106th 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.
