How they differ
- Kazakhstan is larger, but Minas Gerais has the larger population: 20.5 million against 20.1 million, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 35 in Minas Gerais against 7.4 in Kazakhstan: Minas Gerais is 4.72× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Kazakhstan at 48°N is drawn about 2.3× too large and Minas Gerais at 18°S about 1.1×, so the map shows Kazakhstan as 9.44× the size of Minas Gerais instead of 4.63×.
- Together Kazakhstan and Minas Gerais cover 3,301,000 km², close to the size of India (3,151,000 km², 4.5% smaller).
- The gap between them, 2,128,000 km², is about the size of Greenland (2,154,000 km²).
- At Minas Gerais's density, Kazakhstan would have 95.1 million people (it has 20.1 million). At Kazakhstan's density, Minas Gerais would have 4.4 million (it has 20.5 million).
- Kazakhstan's centre is 66.8° of latitude, about 7,430 km, farther north than Minas Gerais's.

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.
