Hokkaido (Japan) is 1.79× the size of Haryana
Hokkaido (Japan) (prefecture of Japan) covers about 78,800 km² (30,400 mi²) and Haryana (state of India) about 43,900 km² (17,000 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Hokkaido (Japan): Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Russia. 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
- Haryana is 56% of the size of Hokkaido (Japan).
- Hokkaido (Japan) is larger by 34,800 km² (13,500 mi²), which is 79% of the area of Haryana.
- Measured in Belgiums: Hokkaido (Japan) is about 2.57, Haryana about 1.43.
How they differ
- Hokkaido (Japan) is larger, but Haryana has the larger population: 25.4 million against 5.4 million, 4.67× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 577 in Haryana against 69 in Hokkaido (Japan): Haryana is 8.37× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,980 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Hokkaido (Japan) at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Haryana at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Hokkaido (Japan) as 2.59× the size of Haryana instead of 1.79×.
- Together Hokkaido (Japan) and Haryana cover 123,000 km², close to the size of Eritrea (123,000 km², 0.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 34,800 km², is about the size of Taiwan (36,200 km²).
- At Haryana's density, Hokkaido (Japan) would have 45.4 million people (it has 5.4 million). At Hokkaido (Japan)'s density, Haryana would have 3.0 million (it has 25.4 million).
- Hokkaido (Japan)'s centre is 14.2° of latitude, about 1,580 km, farther north than Haryana's.
- Hokkaido (Japan) is the largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 21% of its area; it is the 47th most densely populated of them.
- Haryana is the 21st largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.4% of its area; it is the 10th most densely populated of them.
- Hokkaido (Japan) lies about 14° of latitude (roughly 1,580 km) north of Haryana.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Hokkaido (Japan) would have about 14,500 m² and each person in Haryana about 1,730 m².
- Laid side by side, Hokkaido (Japan) and Haryana would cover 123,000 km², about the same size as Eritrea.
- Together they have 30.8 million people, about as many people as Ivory Coast.

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.
