What fits
- Manipur is 79% of the size of Brittany.
- Brittany is larger by 5,670 km² (2,190 mi²), which is 26% of the area of Manipur.

- Their centres are about 8,460 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Brittany at 48°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Manipur at 25°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Brittany as 2.34× the size of Manipur instead of 1.26×.
- Together Brittany and Manipur cover 49,000 km², close to the size of Slovakia (48,500 km², 1.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 5,670 km², is about the size of Brunei (5,720 km²).
- At Manipur's density, Brittany would have 3.6 million people (it has 3.4 million). At Brittany's density, Manipur would have 2.7 million (it has 2.9 million).

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Brittany is the departments Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
