What fits
- Sergipe is 100% of the size of Manipur.
- The measured areas differ by 62.5 km², less than half a percent: closer than the measurement itself is certain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Manipur is about 0.71, Sergipe about 0.70.
How they differ
- Manipur also has the larger population: 2.9 million against 2.2 million, 1.29× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 132 in Manipur against 102 in Sergipe: Manipur is 1.29× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,700 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Manipur at 25°N is drawn about 1.2× too large and Sergipe at 11°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Manipur as 1.17× the size of Sergipe instead of 1.00×.
- Together Manipur and Sergipe cover 43,300 km², close to the size of Denmark (42,700 km², 1.3% smaller).
- At Sergipe's density, Manipur would have 2.2 million people (it has 2.9 million). At Manipur's density, Sergipe would have 2.8 million (it has 2.2 million).
- Manipur's centre is 35.3° of latitude, about 3,930 km, farther north than Sergipe's.
- Manipur is the 25th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 0.7% of its area; it is the 28th most densely populated of them.
- Sergipe is the 26th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Manipur lies about 35° of latitude (roughly 3,930 km) north of Sergipe, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Manipur would have about 7,590 m² and each person in Sergipe about 9,780 m².
- Laid side by side, Manipur and Sergipe would cover 43,300 km², about the same size as Denmark.
- Together they have 5.1 million people, about as many people as Nicaragua.

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.
