What fits
- Oklahoma is 87% of the size of Belarus.
- Belarus is larger by 26,900 km² (10,400 mi²), which is 15% of the area of Oklahoma.
- Measured in Belgiums: Belarus is about 6.77, Oklahoma about 5.89.
How they differ
- Belarus also has the larger population: 9.1 million against 4.0 million, 2.29× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 44 in Belarus against 22 in Oklahoma: Belarus is 1.99× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,810 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Belarus at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Oklahoma at 36°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Belarus as 2.15× the size of Oklahoma instead of 1.15×.
- Together Belarus and Oklahoma cover 388,000 km², close to the size of Zimbabwe (389,000 km², 0.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 26,900 km², is about the size of Haiti (26,900 km²).
- At Oklahoma's density, Belarus would have 4.5 million people (it has 9.1 million). At Belarus's density, Oklahoma would have 7.9 million (it has 4.0 million).
- Belarus's centre is 17.9° of latitude, about 1,990 km, farther north than Oklahoma's.
- Belarus ranks 86th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- 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.
- Belarus lies about 18° of latitude (roughly 1,990 km) north of Oklahoma.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Belarus would have about 22,910 m² and each person in Oklahoma about 45,620 m².
- Laid side by side, Belarus and Oklahoma would cover 388,000 km², about the same size as Zimbabwe.
- Together they have 13.0 million people, 1.03× as many people as South Sudan.
- Counted as a country, Oklahoma would rank 90th by area and 130th 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.
