Uttarakhand: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Nepal. 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
- Uttarakhand is 58% of the size of Portugal.
- Portugal is larger by 38,800 km² (15,000 mi²), which is 74% of the area of Uttarakhand.
- Measured in Belgiums: Portugal is about 2.98, Uttarakhand about 1.72.
How they differ
- Portugal also has the larger population: 10.3 million against 10.1 million, 1.03× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 113 in Portugal: Uttarakhand is 1.69× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,760 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Portugal at 40°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Uttarakhand at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Portugal as 2.19× the size of Uttarakhand instead of 1.74×.

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.
