- Montenegro is larger, but Sikkim has the larger population: 658,000 against 617,000, 1.07× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 95 in Sikkim against 45 in Montenegro: Sikkim is 2.11× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,330 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Montenegro at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Sikkim at 28°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Montenegro as 2.88× the size of Sikkim instead of 1.98×.
- Together Montenegro and Sikkim cover 20,700 km², close to the size of El Salvador (20,500 km², 0.6% smaller).
- The gap between them, 6,790 km², is about the size of Palestine (6,070 km²).
- At Sikkim's density, Montenegro would have 1.3 million people (it has 617,000). At Montenegro's density, Sikkim would have 312,000 (it has 658,000).
- Montenegro's centre is 15.2° of latitude, about 1,690 km, farther north than Sikkim's.

- Sikkim is the 30th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 32nd most densely populated of them.
- Montenegro lies about 15° of latitude (roughly 1,690 km) north of Sikkim.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Montenegro would have about 22,240 m² and each person in Sikkim about 10,550 m².
- Laid side by side, Montenegro and Sikkim would cover 20,700 km², about the same size as El Salvador.
- Together they have 1.3 million people, about as many people as Mauritius.

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.
