- Their centres are about 7,610 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Belarus at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Wisconsin at 45°N about 2.0×, so the map shows Belarus as 1.76× the size of Wisconsin instead of 1.22×.
- Together Belarus and Wisconsin cover 377,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 0.9% smaller).
- The gap between them, 38,100 km², is about the size of Netherlands (37,100 km²).
- At Wisconsin's density, Belarus would have 7.2 million people (it has 9.1 million). At Belarus's density, Wisconsin would have 7.4 million (it has 5.9 million).
- Belarus's centre is 8.9° of latitude, about 990 km, farther north than Wisconsin's.

- Belarus lies about 9° of latitude (roughly 989 km) north of Wisconsin.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Belarus would have about 22,910 m² and each person in Wisconsin about 28,740 m².
- Laid side by side, Belarus and Wisconsin would cover 377,000 km², about the same size as Japan.
- Together they have 14.9 million people, about as many people as Zimbabwe.

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.
