How they differ
- Nevada is larger, but Guangxi has the larger population: 50.1 million against 3.1 million, 16.1× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 211 in Guangxi against 11 in Nevada: Guangxi is 19.5× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 11,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Nevada at 39°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Guangxi at 24°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Nevada as 1.69× the size of Guangxi instead of 1.21×.

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.
