How they differ
- Oklahoma is larger, but Nepal has the larger population: 29.2 million against 4.0 million, 7.37× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 198 in Nepal against 22 in Oklahoma: Nepal is 9.05× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 12,900 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Oklahoma at 36°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Nepal at 28°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Oklahoma as 1.44× the size of Nepal instead of 1.23×.
- Together Oklahoma and Nepal cover 328,000 km², close to the size of Malaysia (328,000 km², 0.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 33,500 km², is about the size of Moldova (33,200 km²).
- At Nepal's density, Oklahoma would have 35.8 million people (it has 4.0 million). At Oklahoma's density, Nepal would have 3.2 million (it has 29.2 million).
- Oklahoma's centre is 7.3° of latitude, about 820 km, farther north than Nepal's.
- Oklahoma is the 19th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Nepal ranks 94th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Oklahoma lies about 7° of latitude (roughly 816 km) north of Nepal.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Oklahoma would have about 45,620 m² and each person in Nepal about 5,040 m².
- Laid side by side, Oklahoma and Nepal would cover 328,000 km², about the same size as Malaysia.
- Together they have 33.1 million people, about as many people as Saudi Arabia.
- Counted as a country, Oklahoma would rank 90th by area and 130th 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.
