- Fukushima
- Khon Kaen
What fits
- Khon Kaen is 76% of the size of Fukushima.
- Fukushima is larger by 3,290 km² (1,270 mi²), which is 31% of the area of Khon Kaen.
- Measured in Belgiums: Fukushima is about 0.46, Khon Kaen about 0.35.
How they differ
- Fukushima also has the larger population: 1.8 million against 1.8 million, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 168 in Khon Kaen against 131 in Fukushima: Khon Kaen is 1.29× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,360 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Fukushima at 37°N is drawn about 1.6× too large and Khon Kaen at 16°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Fukushima as 1.91× the size of Khon Kaen instead of 1.31×.
- Together Fukushima and Khon Kaen cover 24,700 km², close to the size of Rwanda (25,300 km², 2.5% bigger).
- The gap between them, 3,290 km², is about the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km²).
- At Khon Kaen's density, Fukushima would have 2.3 million people (it has 1.8 million). At Fukushima's density, Khon Kaen would have 1.4 million (it has 1.8 million).
- Fukushima's centre is 21.0° of latitude, about 2,330 km, farther north than Khon Kaen's.
- Fukushima is the 3rd largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 3.7% of its area; it is the 40th most densely populated of them.
- Khon Kaen is the 14th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 2.1% of its area; it is the 19th most densely populated of them.
- Fukushima lies about 21° of latitude (roughly 2,330 km) north of Khon Kaen.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Fukushima would have about 7,660 m² and each person in Khon Kaen about 5,960 m².
- Laid side by side, Fukushima and Khon Kaen would cover 24,700 km², about the same size as Rwanda.
- Together they have 3.6 million people, 1.04× as many people as Eritrea.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
