Greece is 2.50× the size of Uttarakhand
Greece (Europe) covers about 131,000 km² (50,700 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 fits inside Greece about 2.50 times by area.
- Greece is larger by 78,700 km² (30,400 mi²), which is 150% of the area of Uttarakhand.
- Measured in Belgiums: Greece is about 4.28, Uttarakhand about 1.72.
How they differ
- Greece also has the larger population: 10.5 million against 10.1 million, 1.04× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 80 in Greece: Uttarakhand is 2.40× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,160 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Greece at 39°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Uttarakhand at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Greece as 3.09× the size of Uttarakhand instead of 2.50×.
- Together Greece and Uttarakhand cover 184,000 km², close to the size of Syria (186,000 km², 1.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 78,700 km², is about the size of Czechia (78,800 km²).
- At Uttarakhand's density, Greece would have 25.2 million people (it has 10.5 million). At Greece's density, Uttarakhand would have 4.2 million (it has 10.1 million).
- Greece's centre is 8.9° of latitude, about 990 km, farther north than Uttarakhand's.
- Greece ranks 98th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- 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.
- Greece lies about 9° of latitude (roughly 985 km) north of Uttarakhand.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Greece would have about 12,530 m² and each person in Uttarakhand about 5,220 m².
- Laid side by side, Greece and Uttarakhand would cover 184,000 km², about the same size as Syria.
- Together they have 20.6 million people, about as many people as Kazakhstan.
- Counted as a country, Uttarakhand would rank 128th by area and 92nd 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.
