- Amapá
What fits
- Amapá is 98% of the size of Tajikistan.
- Tajikistan is larger by 3,060 km² (1,180 mi²), which is 2.2% of the area of Amapá.
- Measured in Belgiums: Tajikistan is about 4.64, Amapá about 4.54.
How they differ
- Tajikistan also has the larger population: 9.5 million against 734,000, 13.0× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 67 in Tajikistan against 5.3 in Amapá: Tajikistan is 12.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 12,700 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tajikistan at 39°N is drawn about 1.6× too large and Amapá at 1°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Tajikistan as 1.67× the size of Amapá instead of 1.02×.
- Together Tajikistan and Amapá cover 281,000 km², close to the size of Burkina Faso (273,000 km², 3.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 3,060 km², is about the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km²).
- At Amapá's density, Tajikistan would have 750,000 people (it has 9.5 million). At Tajikistan's density, Amapá would have 9.3 million (it has 734,000).
- Tajikistan's centre is 37.1° of latitude, about 4,120 km, farther north than Amapá's.

- Amapá is the 18th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 1.6% of its area; it is the 24th most densely populated of them.
- Tajikistan lies about 37° of latitude (roughly 4,120 km) north of Amapá.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tajikistan would have about 14,970 m² and each person in Amapá about 189,680 m².
- Laid side by side, Tajikistan and Amapá would cover 281,000 km², 1.03× the size of Burkina Faso.
- Together they have 10.2 million people, about as many people as Azerbaijan.

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.
