What fits
- Ontario is 96% of the size of Ethiopia.
- Ethiopia is larger by 49,800 km² (19,200 mi²), which is 4.6% of the area of Ontario.
- Measured in Belgiums: Ethiopia is about 36.8, Ontario about 35.1.
How they differ
- Ethiopia also has the larger population: 128.7 million against 14.2 million, 9.05× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 114 in Ethiopia against 13 in Ontario: Ethiopia is 8.65× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 11,600 km apart.
- On a standard web map Ontario looks larger than Ethiopia: Ethiopia at 9°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Ontario at 50°N about 2.4×, so the map shows Ontario as 2.26× the size of Ethiopia, when Ethiopia is 1.05× the size of Ontario.
- Together Ethiopia and Ontario cover 2,205,000 km², close to the size of Greenland (2,154,000 km², 2.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 49,800 km², is about the size of Slovakia (48,500 km²).
- At Ontario's density, Ethiopia would have 14.9 million people (it has 128.7 million). At Ethiopia's density, Ontario would have 123.0 million (it has 14.2 million).
- Ontario's centre is 41.3° of latitude, about 4,590 km, farther north than Ethiopia's.
- Ethiopia ranks 28th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Ontario is the 4th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 11% of its area; it is the 3rd most densely populated of them.
- Ontario lies about 41° of latitude (roughly 4,590 km) north of Ethiopia.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ethiopia would have about 8,760 m² and each person in Ontario about 75,760 m².
- Laid side by side, Ethiopia and Ontario would cover 2,205,000 km², about the same size as Greenland.
- Together they have 142.9 million people, about as many people as Russia.
- Counted as a country, Ontario would rank 29th by area and 76th 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.
