Nuevo León is 1.01× the size of Ladakh
Nuevo León (state of Mexico) covers about 65,000 km² (25,100 mi²) and Ladakh (union territory of India) about 64,300 km² (24,800 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Ladakh: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China and Pakistan. 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
- Ladakh is 99% of the size of Nuevo León.
- Nuevo León is larger by 729 km² (281 mi²), which is 1.1% of the area of Ladakh.
- Measured in Belgiums: Nuevo León is about 2.12, Ladakh about 2.10.
How they differ
- Nuevo León also has the larger population: 5.2 million against 274,000, 18.9× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 80 in Nuevo León against 4.3 in Ladakh: Nuevo León is 18.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,400 km apart.
- On a standard web map Ladakh looks larger than Nuevo León: Nuevo León at 26°N is drawn about 1.2× too large and Ladakh at 34°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Ladakh as 1.17× the size of Nuevo León, when Nuevo León is 1.01× the size of Ladakh.
- Together Nuevo León and Ladakh cover 129,000 km², close to the size of Nicaragua (129,000 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 729 km², is about the size of Dominica (730 km²).
- At Ladakh's density, Nuevo León would have 277,000 people (it has 5.2 million). At Nuevo León's density, Ladakh would have 5.1 million (it has 274,000).
- Ladakh's centre is 8.3° of latitude, about 930 km, farther north than Nuevo León's.
- Nuevo León is the 13th largest of the 32 states of Mexico and covers 3.3% of its area; it is the 14th most densely populated of them.
- Ladakh is the 17th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Ladakh lies about 8° of latitude (roughly 925 km) north of Nuevo León.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Nuevo León would have about 12,520 m² and each person in Ladakh about 234,260 m².
- Laid side by side, Nuevo León and Ladakh would cover 129,000 km², about the same size as Nicaragua.
- Together they have 5.5 million people, about as many people as Slovakia.

- Wikidata's official figure of 64,200 km² agrees with our measured area of 65,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 64,300 km² is 8.5% above Wikidata's official figure of 59,200 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
