Grand Est is 1.09× the size of Uttarakhand

Grand Est (region of France) covers about 57,400 km² (22,200 mi²) and Uttarakhand (state of India) about 52,600 km² (20,300 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Uttarakhand: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Nepal. 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

Uttarakhand is 92% of the size of Grand Est.
Grand Est is larger by 4,740 km² (1,830 mi²), which is 9.0% of the area of Uttarakhand.
Measured in Belgiums: Grand Est is about 1.87, Uttarakhand about 1.72.

How they differ

Grand Est is larger, but Uttarakhand has the larger population: 10.1 million against 5.6 million, 1.81× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 97 in Grand Est: Uttarakhand is 1.98× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 6,380 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Grand Est at 49°N is drawn about 2.3× too large and Uttarakhand at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Grand Est as 1.87× the size of Uttarakhand instead of 1.09×.
Together Grand Est and Uttarakhand cover 110,000 km², close to the size of Cuba (110,000 km², 0.1% smaller).
The gap between them, 4,740 km², is about the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,120 km²).
At Uttarakhand's density, Grand Est would have 11.0 million people (it has 5.6 million). At Grand Est's density, Uttarakhand would have 5.1 million (it has 10.1 million).
Grand Est's centre is 18.5° of latitude, about 2,060 km, farther north than Uttarakhand's.
Grand Est is the 5th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 9.0% of its area; it is the 12th most densely populated of them.
Uttarakhand is the 19th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.7% of its area; it is the 27th most densely populated of them.
Grand Est lies about 19° of latitude (roughly 2,060 km) north of Uttarakhand.
Shared out evenly, each person in Grand Est would have about 10,320 m² and each person in Uttarakhand about 5,220 m².
Laid side by side, Grand Est and Uttarakhand would cover 110,000 km², about the same size as Cuba.
Together they have 15.6 million people, 1.03× as many people as Zimbabwe.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Grand Est is the departments Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
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.
