Arunachal Pradesh: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China. 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
- Arunachal Pradesh is 88% of the size of Portugal.
- Portugal is larger by 10,800 km² (4,170 mi²), which is 13% of the area of Arunachal Pradesh.
- Measured in Belgiums: Portugal is about 2.98, Arunachal Pradesh about 2.63.
How they differ
- Portugal also has the larger population: 10.3 million against 1.4 million, 7.48× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 113 in Portugal against 17 in Arunachal Pradesh: Portugal is 6.60× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,090 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Portugal at 40°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Arunachal Pradesh at 28°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Portugal as 1.49× the size of Arunachal Pradesh instead of 1.13×.
- Together Portugal and Arunachal Pradesh cover 172,000 km², close to the size of Somaliland (167,000 km², 2.7% smaller).
- The gap between them, 10,800 km², is about the size of Kosovo (10,900 km²).
- At Arunachal Pradesh's density, Portugal would have 1.6 million people (it has 10.3 million). At Portugal's density, Arunachal Pradesh would have 9.1 million (it has 1.4 million).
- Portugal's centre is 11.6° of latitude, about 1,290 km, farther north than Arunachal Pradesh's.

- Portugal lies about 12° of latitude (roughly 1,290 km) north of Arunachal Pradesh.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Portugal would have about 8,830 m² and each person in Arunachal Pradesh about 58,290 m².
- Laid side by side, Portugal and Arunachal Pradesh would cover 172,000 km², 97% of the size of Uruguay.
- Together they have 11.7 million people, about as many people as Belgium.

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
- 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.
