What fits
- Kenya is 90% of the size of Manitoba.
- Manitoba is larger by 66,900 km² (25,800 mi²), which is 11% of the area of Kenya.
- Measured in Belgiums: Manitoba is about 21.3, Kenya about 19.1.
How they differ
- Manitoba is larger, but Kenya has the larger population: 48.5 million against 1.3 million, 36.1× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 83 in Kenya against 2.1 in Manitoba: Kenya is 40.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 12,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Manitoba at 55°N is drawn about 3.0× too large and Kenya at 1°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Manitoba as 3.34× the size of Kenya instead of 1.11×.
- Together Manitoba and Kenya cover 1,238,000 km², close to the size of Angola (1,245,000 km², 0.5% bigger).
- The gap between them, 66,900 km², is about the size of Sri Lanka (66,300 km²).
- At Kenya's density, Manitoba would have 54.0 million people (it has 1.3 million). At Manitoba's density, Kenya would have 1.2 million (it has 48.5 million).
- Manitoba's centre is 54.2° of latitude, about 6,030 km, farther north than Kenya's.
- Manitoba is the 7th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 6.6% of its area; it is the 8th most densely populated of them.
- Kenya ranks 47th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Manitoba lies about 54° of latitude (roughly 6,030 km) north of Kenya.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Manitoba would have about 486,240 m² and each person in Kenya about 12,080 m².
- Laid side by side, Manitoba and Kenya would cover 1,238,000 km², about the same size as Angola.
- Together they have 49.8 million people, about as many people as Spain.
- Counted as a country, Manitoba would rank 41st by area and 159th 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.
