Iceland is 13.5× the size of Uttaradit
Iceland (Europe) covers about 102,000 km² (39,500 mi²) and Uttaradit (province of Thailand) about 7,610 km² (2,940 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

- Uttaradit
What fits
- Uttaradit fits inside Iceland about 13.5 times by area.
- Iceland is larger by 94,800 km² (36,600 mi²), which is 1,245% of the area of Uttaradit.
- Measured in Belgiums: Iceland is about 3.34, Uttaradit about 0.25.
How they differ
- Iceland is larger, but Uttaradit has the larger population: 449,000 against 364,000, 1.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 59 in Uttaradit against 3.6 in Iceland: Uttaradit is 16.6× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,500 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Iceland at 65°N is drawn about 5.6× too large and Uttaradit at 18°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Iceland as 68.3× the size of Uttaradit instead of 13.5×.
- Together Iceland and Uttaradit cover 110,000 km², close to the size of Cuba (110,000 km², 0.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 94,800 km², is about the size of Liberia (95,300 km²).
- At Uttaradit's density, Iceland would have 6.0 million people (it has 364,000). At Iceland's density, Uttaradit would have 27,000 (it has 449,000).
- Iceland's centre is 47.3° of latitude, about 5,260 km, farther north than Uttaradit's.
- Iceland ranks 108th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Uttaradit is the 25th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 1.5% of its area; it is the 70th most densely populated of them.
- Iceland lies about 47° of latitude (roughly 5,260 km) north of Uttaradit.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Iceland would have about 281,090 m² and each person in Uttaradit about 16,960 m².
- Laid side by side, Iceland and Uttaradit would cover 110,000 km², about the same size as Cuba.
- Together they have 813,000 people, 1.03× as many people as Bhutan.
- Counted as a country, Uttaradit would rank 170th by area and 175th 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.
