What fits
- Guangdong is 97% of the size of Cambodia.
- Cambodia is larger by 5,570 km² (2,150 mi²), which is 3.2% of the area of Guangdong.
- Measured in Belgiums: Cambodia is about 5.90, Guangdong about 5.72.
How they differ
- Cambodia is larger, but Guangdong has the larger population: 126.0 million against 17.4 million, 7.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 718 in Guangdong against 96 in Cambodia: Guangdong is 7.46× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,490 km apart.
- On a standard web map Guangdong looks larger than Cambodia: Cambodia at 13°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Guangdong at 23°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Guangdong as 1.09× the size of Cambodia, when Cambodia is 1.03× the size of Guangdong.
- Together Cambodia and Guangdong cover 357,000 km², close to the size of Germany (358,000 km², 0.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 5,570 km², is about the size of Brunei (5,720 km²).
- At Guangdong's density, Cambodia would have 130.0 million people (it has 17.4 million). At Cambodia's density, Guangdong would have 16.9 million (it has 126.0 million).
- Guangdong's centre is 10.6° of latitude, about 1,180 km, farther north than Cambodia's.
- Cambodia ranks 90th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Guangdong is the 15th largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Guangdong lies about 11° of latitude (roughly 1,180 km) north of Cambodia.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Cambodia would have about 10,390 m² and each person in Guangdong about 1,390 m².
- Laid side by side, Cambodia and Guangdong would cover 357,000 km², about the same size as Germany.
- Together they have 143.4 million people, about as many people as Russia.
- Counted as a country, Guangdong would rank 91st by area and 12th 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.
