Pará is 663× the size of Osaka
Pará (state of Brazil) covers about 1,231,000 km² (475,000 mi²) and Osaka (prefecture of Japan) about 1,860 km² (716 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Osaka fits inside Pará about 663 times by area.
- Pará is larger by 1,229,000 km² (474,000 mi²), which is 66,244% of the area of Osaka.
- Measured in Belgiums: Pará is about 40.1, Osaka about 0.06.
How they differ
- Pará is larger, but Osaka has the larger population: 8.8 million against 8.1 million, 1.09× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,758 in Osaka against 6.6 in Pará: Osaka is 721× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 16,500 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Pará at 4°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Osaka at 35°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Pará as 452× the size of Osaka instead of 663×.
- Together Pará and Osaka cover 1,233,000 km², close to the size of Angola (1,245,000 km², 1.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,229,000 km², is about the size of South Africa (1,220,000 km²).
- At Osaka's density, Pará would have 5.86 billion people (it has 8.1 million). At Pará's density, Osaka would have 12,000 (it has 8.8 million).
- Osaka's centre is 38.6° of latitude, about 4,300 km, farther north than Pará's.
- Pará is the 2nd largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 15% of its area; it is the 21st most densely populated of them.
- Osaka is the 46th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 0.5% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Osaka lies about 39° of latitude (roughly 4,300 km) north of Pará, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Pará would have about 151,560 m² and each person in Osaka about 210 m².
- Laid side by side, Pará and Osaka would cover 1,233,000 km², about the same size as Angola.
- Together they have 16.9 million people, about as many people as Ecuador.
- Osaka is drawn from 55 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

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.
