What fits
- Kenya is 90% of the size of Saskatchewan.
- Saskatchewan is larger by 65,200 km² (25,200 mi²), which is 11% of the area of Kenya.
- Measured in Belgiums: Saskatchewan is about 21.2, Kenya about 19.1.
How they differ
- Saskatchewan is larger, but Kenya has the larger population: 48.5 million against 1.1 million, 42.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 83 in Kenya against 1.7 in Saskatchewan: Kenya is 47.6× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Saskatchewan at 54°N is drawn about 2.9× too large and Kenya at 1°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Saskatchewan as 3.25× the size of Kenya instead of 1.11×.
- Together Saskatchewan and Kenya cover 1,237,000 km², close to the size of Angola (1,245,000 km², 0.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 65,200 km², is about the size of Lithuania (64,900 km²).
- At Kenya's density, Saskatchewan would have 53.9 million people (it has 1.1 million). At Saskatchewan's density, Kenya would have 1.0 million (it has 48.5 million).
- Saskatchewan's centre is 53.6° of latitude, about 5,970 km, farther north than Kenya's.
- Saskatchewan is the 8th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 6.5% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Kenya ranks 47th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Saskatchewan lies about 54° of latitude (roughly 5,970 km) north of Kenya.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Saskatchewan would have about 574,720 m² and each person in Kenya about 12,080 m².
- Laid side by side, Saskatchewan and Kenya would cover 1,237,000 km², about the same size as Angola.
- Together they have 49.6 million people, about as many people as Spain.
- Counted as a country, Saskatchewan would rank 41st by area and 162nd 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
- 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.
