What fits
- Miyazaki is 75% of the size of Gambia.
- Gambia is larger by 2,640 km² (1,020 mi²), which is 34% of the area of Miyazaki.
- Measured in Belgiums: Gambia is about 0.34, Miyazaki about 0.26.
How they differ
- Gambia also has the larger population: 2.6 million against 1.1 million, 2.49× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 251 in Gambia against 135 in Miyazaki: Gambia is 1.86× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,800 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Gambia at 13°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Miyazaki at 32°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Gambia as 1.01× the size of Miyazaki instead of 1.34×.
- Together Gambia and Miyazaki cover 18,400 km², close to the size of Fiji (18,900 km², 3.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 2,640 km², is about the size of Luxembourg (2,610 km²).
- At Miyazaki's density, Gambia would have 1.4 million people (it has 2.6 million). At Gambia's density, Miyazaki would have 2.0 million (it has 1.1 million).
- Miyazaki's centre is 18.7° of latitude, about 2,080 km, farther north than Gambia's.
- Gambia ranks 168th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Miyazaki is the 13th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 2.1% of its area; it is the 39th most densely populated of them.
- Miyazaki lies about 19° of latitude (roughly 2,080 km) north of Gambia.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Gambia would have about 3,980 m² and each person in Miyazaki about 7,400 m².
- Laid side by side, Gambia and Miyazaki would cover 18,400 km², 97% of the size of Fiji.
- Together they have 3.7 million people, 97% as many people as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Counted as a country, Miyazaki would rank 170th 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.
