What fits
- Rajasthan is 53% of the size of Saskatchewan.

How they differ
- Saskatchewan is larger, but Rajasthan has the larger population: 68.5 million against 1.1 million, 60.5× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 200 in Rajasthan against 1.7 in Saskatchewan: Rajasthan is 115× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 11,000 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Saskatchewan at 54°N is drawn about 2.9× too large and Rajasthan at 27°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Saskatchewan as 4.43× the size of Rajasthan instead of 1.90×.

- The gap between them, 308,000 km², is about the size of Oman (311,000 km²).
- At Rajasthan's density, Saskatchewan would have 130.0 million people (it has 1.1 million). At Saskatchewan's density, Rajasthan would have 597,000 (it has 68.5 million).
- Saskatchewan's centre is 27.6° of latitude, about 3,070 km, farther north than Rajasthan's.

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.
