Jammu and Kashmir: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Pakistan. Size Versus draws Natural Earth's de facto outline, the boundary as it is held on the ground, and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Jammu and Kashmir fits inside Cuba about 2.58 times by area.
- Cuba is larger by 67,400 km² (26,000 mi²), which is 158% of the area of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Measured in Belgiums: Cuba is about 3.58, Jammu and Kashmir about 1.39.
How they differ
- Cuba is larger, but Jammu and Kashmir has the larger population: 12.3 million against 11.0 million, 1.12× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 288 in Jammu and Kashmir against 100 in Cuba: Jammu and Kashmir is 2.88× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,300 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Cuba at 22°N is drawn about 1.2× too large and Jammu and Kashmir at 34°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Cuba as 2.08× the size of Jammu and Kashmir instead of 2.58×.
- Together Cuba and Jammu and Kashmir cover 152,000 km², close to the size of Tunisia (157,000 km², 2.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 67,400 km², is about the size of Sri Lanka (66,300 km²).
- At Jammu and Kashmir's density, Cuba would have 31.7 million people (it has 11.0 million). At Cuba's density, Jammu and Kashmir would have 4.3 million (it has 12.3 million).

- Jammu and Kashmir lies about 12° of latitude (roughly 1,320 km) north of Cuba.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Cuba would have about 10,010 m² and each person in Jammu and Kashmir about 3,470 m².
- Laid side by side, Cuba and Jammu and Kashmir would cover 152,000 km², about the same size as Tunisia.
- Together they have 23.2 million people, about as many people as Burkina Faso.

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.
