What fits
- Rondônia is 100% of the size of Ghana.
- The measured areas differ by 722 km², less than half a percent: closer than the measurement itself is certain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Ghana is about 7.78, Rondônia about 7.76.
How they differ
- Ghana also has the larger population: 32.8 million against 1.6 million, 20.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 138 in Ghana against 6.6 in Rondônia: Ghana is 20.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,130 km apart.
- On a standard web map Rondônia looks larger than Ghana: Ghana at 8°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Rondônia at 11°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Rondônia as 1.01× the size of Ghana, when Ghana is 1.00× the size of Rondônia.
- Together Ghana and Rondônia cover 477,000 km², close to the size of Somalia (472,000 km², 1.0% smaller).
- At Rondônia's density, Ghana would have 1.6 million people (it has 32.8 million). At Ghana's density, Rondônia would have 32.7 million (it has 1.6 million).
- Ghana's centre is 18.9° of latitude, about 2,100 km, farther north than Rondônia's.
- Ghana ranks 82nd of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Rondônia is the 13th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 2.8% of its area; it is the 20th most densely populated of them.
- Ghana lies about 19° of latitude (roughly 2,100 km) north of Rondônia, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ghana would have about 7,270 m² and each person in Rondônia about 150,490 m².
- Laid side by side, Ghana and Rondônia would cover 477,000 km², about the same size as Somalia.
- Together they have 34.4 million people, about as many people as Malaysia.
- Counted as a country, Rondônia would rank 82nd by area and 154th 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.
