What fits

Kyrgyzstan is 96% of the size of Belarus.
Belarus is larger by 8,510 km² (3,290 mi²), which is 4.3% of the area of Kyrgyzstan.
Measured in Belgiums: Belarus is about 6.77, Kyrgyzstan about 6.49.

How they differ

Belarus also has the larger population: 9.1 million against 7.3 million, 1.24× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 44 in Belarus against 37 in Kyrgyzstan: Belarus is 1.19× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 3,660 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Belarus at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Kyrgyzstan at 41°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Belarus as 1.66× the size of Kyrgyzstan instead of 1.04×.
Together Belarus and Kyrgyzstan cover 406,000 km², close to the size of Paraguay (400,000 km², 1.6% smaller).
The gap between them, 8,510 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
At Kyrgyzstan's density, Belarus would have 7.6 million people (it has 9.1 million). At Belarus's density, Kyrgyzstan would have 8.7 million (it has 7.3 million).
Belarus's centre is 12.0° of latitude, about 1,340 km, farther north than Kyrgyzstan's.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
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.
