- Their centres are about 7,890 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Nan at 19°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Australian Capital Territory at 35°S about 1.5×, so the map shows Nan as 3.69× the size of Australian Capital Territory instead of 4.99×.

- Together they have 958,000 people, 1.03× as many people as Fiji.

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.
