What fits
- Meghalaya is 91% of the size of Piedmont.
- Piedmont is larger by 2,390 km² (923 mi²), which is 10% of the area of Meghalaya.
- Measured in Belgiums: Piedmont is about 0.83, Meghalaya about 0.75.
How they differ
- Piedmont also has the larger population: 4.3 million against 3.0 million, 1.46× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 170 in Piedmont against 128 in Meghalaya: Piedmont is 1.33× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,530 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Piedmont at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Meghalaya at 26°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Piedmont as 1.80× the size of Meghalaya instead of 1.10×.
- Together Piedmont and Meghalaya cover 48,600 km², close to the size of Slovakia (48,500 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 2,390 km², is about the size of Luxembourg (2,610 km²).
- At Meghalaya's density, Piedmont would have 3.3 million people (it has 4.3 million). At Piedmont's density, Meghalaya would have 3.9 million (it has 3.0 million).
- Piedmont's centre is 19.5° of latitude, about 2,170 km, farther north than Meghalaya'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.
- Meghalaya is the 24th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 0.7% of its area; it is the 29th most densely populated of them.
- Piedmont lies about 20° of latitude (roughly 2,170 km) north of Meghalaya.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Piedmont would have about 5,880 m² and each person in Meghalaya about 7,790 m².
- Laid side by side, Piedmont and Meghalaya would cover 48,600 km², about the same size as Slovakia.
- Together they have 7.3 million people, about as many people as Kyrgyzstan.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
