What fits
- Rondônia is 95% of the size of Michigan.
- Michigan is larger by 12,100 km² (4,670 mi²), which is 5.1% of the area of Rondônia.

- Their centres are about 6,610 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Michigan at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Rondônia at 11°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Michigan as 2.01× the size of Rondônia instead of 1.05×.
- Together Michigan and Rondônia cover 488,000 km², close to the size of Spain (499,000 km², 2.3% bigger).

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.
