What fits
- Guizhou is 84% of the size of Belarus.
- Belarus is larger by 32,300 km² (12,500 mi²), which is 18% of the area of Guizhou.
- Measured in Belgiums: Belarus is about 6.77, Guizhou about 5.71.
How they differ
- Belarus is larger, but Guizhou has the larger population: 38.6 million against 9.1 million, 4.26× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 220 in Guizhou against 44 in Belarus: Guizhou is 5.04× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,920 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Belarus at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Guizhou at 27°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Belarus as 2.67× the size of Guizhou instead of 1.18×.
- Together Belarus and Guizhou cover 383,000 km², close to the size of Norway (382,000 km², 0.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 32,300 km², is about the size of Guinea-Bissau (32,800 km²).
- At Guizhou's density, Belarus would have 45.7 million people (it has 9.1 million). At Belarus's density, Guizhou would have 7.6 million (it has 38.6 million).
- Belarus's centre is 26.7° of latitude, about 2,970 km, farther north than Guizhou's.
- Belarus ranks 86th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Guizhou is the 16th largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 19th most densely populated of them.
- Belarus lies about 27° of latitude (roughly 2,970 km) north of Guizhou.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Belarus would have about 22,910 m² and each person in Guizhou about 4,540 m².
- Laid side by side, Belarus and Guizhou would cover 383,000 km², about the same size as Norway.
- Together they have 47.6 million people, about as many people as Argentina.
- Counted as a country, Guizhou would rank 91st by area and 37th 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.
