Sisaket is 4.12× the size of Okinawa
Sisaket (province of Thailand) covers about 8,850 km² (3,420 mi²) and Okinawa (prefecture of Japan) about 2,150 km² (829 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Okinawa: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China and Taiwan. 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
- Okinawa fits inside Sisaket about 4.12 times by area.
- Sisaket is larger by 6,700 km² (2,590 mi²), which is 312% of the area of Okinawa.
- Measured in Belgiums: Sisaket is about 0.29, Okinawa about 0.07.
How they differ
- Sisaket is larger, but Okinawa has the larger population: 1.5 million against 1.5 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 680 in Okinawa against 165 in Sisaket: Okinawa is 4.13× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 2,630 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Sisaket at 15°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Okinawa at 26°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Sisaket as 3.57× the size of Okinawa instead of 4.12×.
- Together Sisaket and Okinawa cover 11,000 km², close to the size of Jamaica (11,000 km², 0.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 6,700 km², is about the size of Palestine (6,070 km²).
- At Okinawa's density, Sisaket would have 6.0 million people (it has 1.5 million). At Sisaket's density, Okinawa would have 354,000 (it has 1.5 million).
- Okinawa's centre is 11.0° of latitude, about 1,220 km, farther north than Sisaket's.
- Sisaket is the 21st largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 1.7% of its area; it is the 21st most densely populated of them.
- Okinawa is the 45th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 0.6% of its area; it is the 8th most densely populated of them.
- Okinawa lies about 11° of latitude (roughly 1,220 km) north of Sisaket.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Sisaket would have about 6,070 m² and each person in Okinawa about 1,470 m².
- Laid side by side, Sisaket and Okinawa would cover 11,000 km², about the same size as Jamaica.
- Together they have 2.9 million people, about as many people as Armenia.
- Okinawa is drawn from 133 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

- Wikidata's official figure of 8,840 km² agrees with our measured area of 8,850 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 2,150 km² is 5.8% below Wikidata's official figure of 2,280 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
