What fits
- Chandigarh is 86% of the size of Liechtenstein.
- Liechtenstein is larger by 18.6 km² (7.2 mi²), which is 16% of the area of Chandigarh.
- Measured in Belgiums: Liechtenstein is about 0.00, Chandigarh about 0.00.
How they differ
- Liechtenstein is larger, but Chandigarh has the larger population: 1.1 million against 38,000, 27.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 8,892 in Chandigarh against 276 in Liechtenstein: Chandigarh is 32.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,900 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Liechtenstein at 47°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Chandigarh at 31°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Liechtenstein as 1.85× the size of Chandigarh instead of 1.16×.
- At Chandigarh's density, Liechtenstein would have 1.2 million people (it has 38,000). At Liechtenstein's density, Chandigarh would have 33,000 (it has 1.1 million).
- Liechtenstein's centre is 16.4° of latitude, about 1,820 km, farther north than Chandigarh's.
- Liechtenstein ranks 220th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Chandigarh is the 35th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Liechtenstein lies about 16° of latitude (roughly 1,820 km) north of Chandigarh.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Liechtenstein would have about 3,620 m² and each person in Chandigarh about 110 m².
- Laid side by side, Liechtenstein and Chandigarh would cover 256 km², 97% of the size of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
- Together they have 1.1 million people, 95% as many people as Djibouti.
- Liechtenstein is drawn from 18 points and Chandigarh is drawn from 13 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Chandigarh would rank 220th by area and 162nd 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.
