Uttarakhand: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Nepal. Size Versus draws Natural Earth's de facto outline, the boundary as it is held on the ground, and takes no position on it.

What fits

Uttarakhand is 96% of the size of Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia is larger by 2,470 km² (953 mi²), which is 4.7% of the area of Uttarakhand.
Measured in Belgiums: Nova Scotia is about 1.80, Uttarakhand about 1.72.

How they differ

Nova Scotia is larger, but Uttarakhand has the larger population: 10.1 million against 969,000, 10.4× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 18 in Nova Scotia: Uttarakhand is 10.9× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 10,800 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Nova Scotia at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Uttarakhand at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Nova Scotia as 1.57× the size of Uttarakhand instead of 1.05×.
Together Nova Scotia and Uttarakhand cover 108,000 km², close to the size of Guatemala (109,000 km², 1.0% bigger).
The gap between them, 2,470 km², is about the size of Luxembourg (2,610 km²).
At Uttarakhand's density, Nova Scotia would have 10.6 million people (it has 969,000). At Nova Scotia's density, Uttarakhand would have 926,000 (it has 10.1 million).
Nova Scotia's centre is 15.0° of latitude, about 1,670 km, farther north than Uttarakhand's.
Nova Scotia is the 12th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 0.6% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
Uttarakhand is the 19th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.7% of its area; it is the 27th most densely populated of them.
Nova Scotia lies about 15° of latitude (roughly 1,670 km) north of Uttarakhand.
Shared out evenly, each person in Nova Scotia would have about 56,850 m² and each person in Uttarakhand about 5,220 m².
Laid side by side, Nova Scotia and Uttarakhand would cover 108,000 km², about the same size as Guatemala.
Together they have 11.1 million people, about as many people as Somalia.

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.
