What fits
- Australian Capital Territory is 55% of the size of Phichit.
- Phichit is larger by 1,900 km² (732 mi²), which is 81% of the area of Australian Capital Territory.
- Measured in Belgiums: Phichit is about 0.14, Australian Capital Territory about 0.08.
How they differ
- Phichit also has the larger population: 532,000 against 482,000, 1.11× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 205 in Australian Capital Territory against 125 in Phichit: Australian Capital Territory is 1.64× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,700 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Phichit at 16°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Australian Capital Territory at 35°S about 1.5×, so the map shows Phichit as 1.30× the size of Australian Capital Territory instead of 1.81×.
- Together Phichit and Australian Capital Territory cover 6,590 km², close to the size of Palestine (6,070 km², 7.9% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,900 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
- At Australian Capital Territory's density, Phichit would have 870,000 people (it has 532,000). At Phichit's density, Australian Capital Territory would have 295,000 (it has 482,000).
- Phichit's centre is 51.7° of latitude, about 5,750 km, farther north than Australian Capital Territory's.
- Phichit is the 50th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.8% of its area; it is the 38th most densely populated of them.
- Australian Capital Territory is the 8th largest of the 8 states and territories of Australia and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Phichit lies about 52° of latitude (roughly 5,750 km) north of Australian Capital Territory, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Phichit would have about 7,970 m² and each person in Australian Capital Territory about 4,880 m².
- Laid side by side, Phichit and Australian Capital Territory would cover 6,590 km², 1.15× the size of Brunei.
- Together they have 1.0 million people, 1.09× as many people as Fiji.
- Australian Capital Territory is drawn from 52 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.
