What fits
- Piedmont fits inside Ireland about 2.72 times by area.
- Ireland is larger by 43,900 km² (17,000 mi²), which is 172% of the area of Piedmont.
- Measured in Belgiums: Ireland is about 2.26, Piedmont about 0.83.
How they differ
- Ireland also has the larger population: 5.1 million against 4.3 million, 1.19× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 170 in Piedmont against 74 in Ireland: Piedmont is 2.30× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,470 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Ireland at 53°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Piedmont at 45°N about 2.0×, so the map shows Ireland as 3.78× the size of Piedmont instead of 2.72×.
- Together Ireland and Piedmont cover 95,000 km², close to the size of Liberia (95,300 km², 0.4% bigger).
- The gap between them, 43,900 km², is about the size of Denmark (42,700 km²).
- At Piedmont's density, Ireland would have 11.8 million people (it has 5.1 million). At Ireland's density, Piedmont would have 1.9 million (it has 4.3 million).
- Ireland's centre is 8.1° of latitude, about 900 km, farther north than Piedmont's.

- Piedmont is the 2nd largest of the 20 regions of Italy and covers 8.5% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Ireland lies about 8° of latitude (roughly 901 km) north of Piedmont.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ireland would have about 13,490 m² and each person in Piedmont about 5,880 m².
- Laid side by side, Ireland and Piedmont would cover 95,000 km², about the same size as Liberia.
- Together they have 9.5 million people, about as many people as Tajikistan.
- Counted as a country, Piedmont would rank 148th by area and 130th 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. The outline of Piedmont is the provinces 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.
