Ceuta: The boundary or political status of Ceuta is contested. Size Versus draws the Natural Earth de facto outline and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Ceuta is 54% of the size of Lakshadweep.
- Lakshadweep is larger by 15.6 km² (6.0 mi²), which is 84% of the area of Ceuta.
- Measured in Belgiums: Lakshadweep is about 0.00, Ceuta about 0.00.
How they differ
- Lakshadweep is larger, but Ceuta has the larger population: 83,000 against 64,000, 1.29× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,499 in Ceuta against 1,889 in Lakshadweep: Ceuta is 2.38× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,290 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Lakshadweep at 10°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Ceuta at 36°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Lakshadweep as 1.25× the size of Ceuta instead of 1.84×.
- At Ceuta's density, Lakshadweep would have 153,000 people (it has 64,000). At Lakshadweep's density, Ceuta would have 35,000 (it has 83,000).
- Ceuta's centre is 25.8° of latitude, about 2,870 km, farther north than Lakshadweep's.
- Lakshadweep is the 36th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Ceuta is the 18th largest of the 19 autonomous communities and cities of Spain and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Ceuta lies about 26° of latitude (roughly 2,870 km) north of Lakshadweep.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Lakshadweep would have about 530 m² and each person in Ceuta about 220 m².
- Laid side by side, Lakshadweep and Ceuta would cover 52.6 km², 87% of the size of San Marino.
- Together they have 148,000 people, 74% as many people as Samoa.
- Lakshadweep is drawn from 94 points and Ceuta is drawn from 9 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

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.
