Pará is 1.09× the size of Tibet
Pará (state of Brazil) covers about 1,231,000 km² (475,000 mi²) and Tibet (autonomous region of China) about 1,130,000 km² (436,000 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Tibet: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with India. 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
- Tibet is 92% of the size of Pará.
- Pará is larger by 101,000 km² (39,000 mi²), which is 8.9% of the area of Tibet.
- Measured in Belgiums: Pará is about 40.1, Tibet about 36.8.
How they differ
- Pará also has the larger population: 8.1 million against 3.6 million, 2.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 6.6 in Pará against 3.2 in Tibet: Pará is 2.04× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,900 km apart.
- On a standard web map Tibet looks larger than Pará: Pará at 4°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Tibet at 32°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Tibet as 1.26× the size of Pará, when Pará is 1.09× the size of Tibet.
- Together Pará and Tibet cover 2,360,000 km², close to the size of Democratic Republic of the Congo (2,325,000 km², 1.5% smaller).
- The gap between them, 101,000 km², is about the size of Iceland (102,000 km²).
- At Tibet's density, Pará would have 4.0 million people (it has 8.1 million). At Pará's density, Tibet would have 7.5 million (it has 3.6 million).
- Tibet's centre is 35.8° of latitude, about 3,980 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.
- Tibet is the 3rd largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 12% of its area; it is the 31st most densely populated of them.
- Tibet lies about 36° of latitude (roughly 3,980 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 Tibet about 309,690 m².
- Laid side by side, Pará and Tibet would cover 2,360,000 km², about the same size as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- Together they have 11.8 million people, about as many people as Belgium.

- Wikidata's official figure of 1,246,000 km² agrees with our measured area of 1,231,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 1,130,000 km² is 8.0% below Wikidata's official figure of 1,228,000 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.
