What fits
- Saskatchewan is 88% of the size of Chile.
- Chile is larger by 85,500 km² (33,000 mi²), which is 13% of the area of Saskatchewan.
- Measured in Belgiums: Chile is about 24.0, Saskatchewan about 21.2.
How they differ
- Chile also has the larger population: 19.5 million against 1.1 million, 17.2× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 26 in Chile against 1.7 in Saskatchewan: Chile is 15.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 10,600 km apart.
- On a standard web map Saskatchewan looks larger than Chile: Chile at 36°S is drawn about 1.5× too large and Saskatchewan at 54°N about 2.9×, so the map shows Saskatchewan as 1.69× the size of Chile, when Chile is 1.13× the size of Saskatchewan.
- Together Chile and Saskatchewan cover 1,387,000 km², close to the size of Peru (1,290,000 km², 7.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 85,500 km², is about the size of Azerbaijan (86,200 km²).
- At Saskatchewan's density, Chile would have 1.3 million people (it has 19.5 million). At Chile's density, Saskatchewan would have 17.2 million (it has 1.1 million).
- Saskatchewan's centre is 90.3° of latitude, about 10,040 km, farther north than Chile's.
- Chile ranks 40th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Saskatchewan is the 8th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 6.5% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Saskatchewan lies about 90° of latitude (roughly 10,000 km) north of Chile, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Chile would have about 37,860 m² and each person in Saskatchewan about 574,720 m².
- Laid side by side, Chile and Saskatchewan would cover 1,387,000 km², 1.08× the size of Peru.
- Together they have 20.6 million people, about as many people as Kazakhstan.
- Counted as a country, Saskatchewan would rank 41st by area and 162nd 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.
