What fits
- Kyrgyzstan is 67% of the size of Arizona.
- Arizona is larger by 96,100 km² (37,100 mi²), which is 48% of the area of Kyrgyzstan.
- Measured in Belgiums: Arizona is about 9.62, Kyrgyzstan about 6.49.
How they differ
- Arizona is larger, but Kyrgyzstan has the larger population: 7.3 million against 7.2 million, 1.02× as many people.

- Their centres are about 11,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Arizona at 34°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Kyrgyzstan at 41°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Arizona as 1.22× the size of Kyrgyzstan instead of 1.48×.
- Together Arizona and Kyrgyzstan cover 494,000 km², close to the size of Spain (499,000 km², 1.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 96,100 km², is about the size of Liberia (95,300 km²).
- At Kyrgyzstan's density, Arizona would have 10.8 million people (it has 7.2 million). At Arizona's density, Kyrgyzstan would have 4.8 million (it has 7.3 million).
- Kyrgyzstan's centre is 7.2° of latitude, about 800 km, farther north than Arizona's.

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.
