Piedmont is 1.01× the size of Rwanda
Piedmont (region of Italy) covers about 25,500 km² (9,850 mi²) and Rwanda (Africa) about 25,300 km² (9,770 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Rwanda is 99% of the size of Piedmont.
- Piedmont is larger by 206 km² (79.4 mi²), which is 0.8% of the area of Rwanda.
- Measured in Belgiums: Piedmont is about 0.83, Rwanda about 0.83.
How they differ
- Piedmont is larger, but Rwanda has the larger population: 14.6 million against 4.3 million, 3.36× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 576 in Rwanda against 170 in Piedmont: Rwanda is 3.38× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,670 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Piedmont at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Rwanda at 2°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Piedmont as 2.02× the size of Rwanda instead of 1.01×.
- Together Piedmont and Rwanda cover 50,800 km², close to the size of Costa Rica (51,200 km², 0.7% bigger).
- At Rwanda's density, Piedmont would have 14.7 million people (it has 4.3 million). At Piedmont's density, Rwanda would have 4.3 million (it has 14.6 million).
- Piedmont's centre is 47.1° of latitude, about 5,230 km, farther north than Rwanda'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.
- Rwanda ranks 150th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Piedmont lies about 47° of latitude (roughly 5,230 km) north of Rwanda, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Piedmont would have about 5,880 m² and each person in Rwanda about 1,740 m².
- Laid side by side, Piedmont and Rwanda would cover 50,800 km², about the same size as Costa Rica.
- Together they have 18.9 million people, about as many people as Romania.
- 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.
