- Nepal
- Amapá
What fits
- Amapá is 95% of the size of Nepal.
- Nepal is larger by 7,920 km² (3,060 mi²), which is 5.7% of the area of Amapá.
- Measured in Belgiums: Nepal is about 4.80, Amapá about 4.54.
How they differ
- Nepal also has the larger population: 29.2 million against 734,000, 39.7× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 198 in Nepal against 5.3 in Amapá: Nepal is 37.6× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,300 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Nepal at 28°N is drawn about 1.3× too large and Amapá at 1°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Nepal as 1.36× the size of Amapá instead of 1.06×.
- Together Nepal and Amapá cover 286,000 km², close to the size of Philippines (293,000 km², 2.4% bigger).
- The gap between them, 7,920 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Amapá's density, Nepal would have 776,000 people (it has 29.2 million). At Nepal's density, Amapá would have 27.6 million (it has 734,000).
- Nepal's centre is 26.8° of latitude, about 2,980 km, farther north than Amapá's.
- Nepal ranks 94th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Amapá is the 18th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 1.6% of its area; it is the 24th most densely populated of them.
- Nepal lies about 27° of latitude (roughly 2,980 km) north of Amapá.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Nepal would have about 5,040 m² and each person in Amapá about 189,680 m².
- Laid side by side, Nepal and Amapá would cover 286,000 km², about the same size as the Philippines.
- Together they have 29.9 million people, about as many people as Mozambique.
- Counted as a country, Amapá would rank 96th by area and 166th 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.
