What fits
- Sonora is 99% of the size of Cambodia.
- Cambodia is larger by 1,880 km² (726 mi²), which is 1.0% of the area of Sonora.
- Measured in Belgiums: Cambodia is about 5.90, Sonora about 5.84.
How they differ
- Cambodia also has the larger population: 17.4 million against 2.9 million, 6.11× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 96 in Cambodia against 16 in Sonora: Cambodia is 6.05× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,900 km apart.
- On a standard web map Sonora looks larger than Cambodia: Cambodia at 13°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Sonora at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Sonora as 1.25× the size of Cambodia, when Cambodia is 1.01× the size of Sonora.
- Together Cambodia and Sonora cover 360,000 km², close to the size of Germany (358,000 km², 0.7% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,880 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
- At Sonora's density, Cambodia would have 2.9 million people (it has 17.4 million). At Cambodia's density, Sonora would have 17.2 million (it has 2.9 million).
- Sonora's centre is 17.0° of latitude, about 1,890 km, farther north than Cambodia's.
- Cambodia ranks 90th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Sonora is the 2nd largest of the 32 states of Mexico and covers 9.2% of its area; it is the 29th most densely populated of them.
- Sonora lies about 17° of latitude (roughly 1,890 km) north of Cambodia.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Cambodia would have about 10,390 m² and each person in Sonora about 62,860 m².
- Laid side by side, Cambodia and Sonora would cover 360,000 km², about the same size as Germany.
- Together they have 20.3 million people, about as many people as Kazakhstan.
- Counted as a country, Sonora would rank 90th by area and 139th 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.
