What fits
- Pernambuco fits inside Belarus about 2.13 times by area.
- Belarus is larger by 110,000 km² (42,400 mi²), which is 113% of the area of Pernambuco.
- Measured in Belgiums: Belarus is about 6.77, Pernambuco about 3.18.
How they differ
- Belarus is larger, but Pernambuco has the larger population: 9.1 million against 9.1 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 93 in Pernambuco against 44 in Belarus: Pernambuco is 2.13× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,220 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Belarus at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Pernambuco at 8°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Belarus as 5.89× the size of Pernambuco instead of 2.13×.
- Together Belarus and Pernambuco cover 305,000 km², close to the size of Italy (301,000 km², 1.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 110,000 km², is about the size of Cuba (110,000 km²).
- At Pernambuco's density, Belarus would have 19.3 million people (it has 9.1 million). At Belarus's density, Pernambuco would have 4.3 million (it has 9.1 million).
- Belarus's centre is 61.9° of latitude, about 6,880 km, farther north than Pernambuco's.
- Belarus ranks 86th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Pernambuco is the 19th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 1.2% of its area; it is the 6th most densely populated of them.
- Belarus lies about 62° of latitude (roughly 6,880 km) north of Pernambuco, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Belarus would have about 22,910 m² and each person in Pernambuco about 10,780 m².
- Laid side by side, Belarus and Pernambuco would cover 305,000 km², about the same size as Italy.
- Together they have 18.1 million people, about as many people as the Netherlands.
- Counted as a country, Pernambuco would rank 109th by area and 97th 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.
