- Measured in Belgiums: Rondônia is about 7.76, Guangxi about 7.74.
How they differ
- Rondônia is larger, but Guangxi has the larger population: 50.1 million against 1.6 million, 31.7× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 211 in Guangxi against 6.6 in Rondônia: Guangxi is 31.8× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 18,300 km apart.
- On a standard web map Guangxi looks larger than Rondônia: Rondônia at 11°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Guangxi at 24°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Guangxi as 1.15× the size of Rondônia, when Rondônia is 1.00× the size of Guangxi.
- Together Rondônia and Guangxi cover 475,000 km², close to the size of Somalia (472,000 km², 0.7% smaller).
- At Guangxi's density, Rondônia would have 50.3 million people (it has 1.6 million). At Rondônia's density, Guangxi would have 1.6 million (it has 50.1 million).
- Guangxi's centre is 34.7° of latitude, about 3,860 km, farther north than Rondônia's.
- Rondônia is the 13th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 2.8% of its area; it is the 20th most densely populated of them.
- Guangxi is the 9th largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 2.5% of its area; it is the 20th most densely populated of them.
- Guangxi lies about 35° of latitude (roughly 3,860 km) north of Rondônia, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Rondônia would have about 150,490 m² and each person in Guangxi about 4,730 m².
- Laid side by side, Rondônia and Guangxi would cover 475,000 km², about the same size as Somalia.

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