- Their centres are about 13,300 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Jiangsu at 33°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Oaxaca at 17°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Jiangsu as 1.41× the size of Oaxaca instead of 1.09×.
- Together Jiangsu and Oaxaca cover 192,000 km², close to the size of Senegal (196,000 km², 2.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 7,930 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).

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.
