What fits
- Kuwait is 68% of the size of Piedmont.
- Piedmont is larger by 8,040 km² (3,100 mi²), which is 46% of the area of Kuwait.
- Measured in Belgiums: Piedmont is about 0.83, Kuwait about 0.57.
How they differ
- Piedmont is larger, but Kuwait has the larger population: 4.5 million against 4.3 million, 1.03× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 255 in Kuwait against 170 in Piedmont: Kuwait is 1.50× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 3,870 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Piedmont at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Kuwait at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Piedmont as 2.22× the size of Kuwait instead of 1.46×.
- Together Piedmont and Kuwait cover 43,000 km², close to the size of Denmark (42,700 km², 0.7% smaller).
- The gap between them, 8,040 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Kuwait's density, Piedmont would have 6.5 million people (it has 4.3 million). At Piedmont's density, Kuwait would have 3.0 million (it has 4.5 million).
- Piedmont's centre is 15.7° of latitude, about 1,750 km, farther north than Kuwait's.
- Piedmont is the 2nd largest of the 20 regions of Italy and covers 8.5% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Kuwait ranks 158th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Piedmont lies about 16° of latitude (roughly 1,750 km) north of Kuwait.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Piedmont would have about 5,880 m² and each person in Kuwait about 3,910 m².
- Laid side by side, Piedmont and Kuwait would cover 43,000 km², about the same size as Denmark.
- Together they have 8.8 million people, about as many people as Papua New Guinea.
- Counted as a country, Piedmont would rank 148th 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. The outline of Piedmont is the provinces Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
