- Per square kilometre that is 307 in Telangana against 3.6 in Iceland: Telangana is 86.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,570 km apart.
- On a standard web map Iceland looks larger than Telangana: Telangana at 18°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Iceland at 65°N about 5.6×, so the map shows Iceland as 4.53× the size of Telangana, when Telangana is 1.12× the size of Iceland.
- Together Telangana and Iceland cover 217,000 km², close to the size of Guyana (211,000 km², 2.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 12,400 km², is about the size of Vanuatu (12,300 km²).
- At Iceland's density, Telangana would have 408,000 people (it has 35.2 million). At Telangana's density, Iceland would have 31.4 million (it has 364,000).
- Iceland's centre is 47.2° of latitude, about 5,250 km, farther north than Telangana's.

- Iceland ranks 108th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Iceland lies about 47° of latitude (roughly 5,250 km) north of Telangana.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Telangana would have about 3,260 m² and each person in Iceland about 281,090 m².
- Laid side by side, Telangana and Iceland would cover 217,000 km², about the same size as Guyana.
- Together they have 35.6 million people, about as many people as Uzbekistan.

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.
