What fits
- Paraná is 100% of the size of Kyrgyzstan.
- The measured areas differ by 324 km², less than half a percent: closer than the measurement itself is certain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Kyrgyzstan is about 6.49, Paraná about 6.48.
How they differ
- Kyrgyzstan is larger, but Paraná has the larger population: 11.4 million against 7.3 million, 1.57× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 58 in Paraná against 37 in Kyrgyzstan: Paraná is 1.57× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,800 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Kyrgyzstan at 41°N is drawn about 1.8× too large and Paraná at 25°S about 1.2×, so the map shows Kyrgyzstan as 1.47× the size of Paraná instead of 1.00×.
- Together Kyrgyzstan and Paraná cover 398,000 km², close to the size of Paraguay (400,000 km², 0.6% bigger).
- At Paraná's density, Kyrgyzstan would have 11.5 million people (it has 7.3 million). At Kyrgyzstan's density, Paraná would have 7.3 million (it has 11.4 million).
- Kyrgyzstan's centre is 66.1° of latitude, about 7,350 km, farther north than Paraná's.
- Kyrgyzstan ranks 87th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Paraná is the 15th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 2.3% of its area; it is the 12th most densely populated of them.
- Kyrgyzstan lies about 66° of latitude (roughly 7,350 km) north of Paraná, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Kyrgyzstan would have about 27,330 m² and each person in Paraná about 17,360 m².
- Laid side by side, Kyrgyzstan and Paraná would cover 398,000 km², about the same size as Paraguay.
- Together they have 18.7 million people, about as many people as Romania.
- Counted as a country, Paraná would rank 87th by area and 82nd 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.
