- Their centres are about 8,890 km apart.
- On a standard web map Quebec looks larger than Mongolia: Mongolia at 47°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Quebec at 53°N about 2.8×, so the map shows Quebec as 1.24× the size of Mongolia, when Mongolia is 1.04× the size of Quebec.
- Together Mongolia and Quebec cover 3,070,000 km², close to the size of India (3,151,000 km², 2.6% bigger).
- The gap between them, 59,200 km², is about the size of Togo (56,900 km²).
- At Quebec's density, Mongolia would have 8.8 million people (it has 3.4 million). At Mongolia's density, Quebec would have 3.3 million (it has 8.5 million).

- Quebec lies about 6° of latitude (roughly 676 km) north of Mongolia.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Mongolia would have about 458,850 m² and each person in Quebec about 177,080 m².
- Laid side by side, Mongolia and Quebec would cover 3,070,000 km², about the same size as India.
- Together they have 11.9 million people, about as many people as Belgium.

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.
