What fits
- Myanmar is 97% of the size of Texas.
- Texas is larger by 22,200 km² (8,560 mi²), which is 3.3% of the area of Myanmar.
- Measured in Belgiums: Texas is about 22.3, Myanmar about 21.6.
How they differ
- Texas is larger, but Myanmar has the larger population: 53.4 million against 29.1 million, 1.83× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 80 in Myanmar against 43 in Texas: Myanmar is 1.89× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,900 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Texas at 31°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Myanmar at 21°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Texas as 1.24× the size of Myanmar instead of 1.03×.
- Together Texas and Myanmar cover 1,348,000 km², close to the size of Peru (1,290,000 km², 4.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 22,200 km², is about the size of Israel (22,100 km²).
- At Myanmar's density, Texas would have 55.2 million people (it has 29.1 million). At Texas's density, Myanmar would have 28.2 million (it has 53.4 million).
- Texas's centre is 10.4° of latitude, about 1,160 km, farther north than Myanmar's.
- Texas is the 2nd largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 7.2% of its area; it is the 24th most densely populated of them.
- Myanmar ranks 41st of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Texas lies about 10° of latitude (roughly 1,160 km) north of Myanmar.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Texas would have about 23,510 m² and each person in Myanmar about 12,430 m².
- Laid side by side, Texas and Myanmar would cover 1,348,000 km², 1.05× the size of Peru.
- Together they have 82.5 million people, about as many people as Germany.
- Counted as a country, Texas would rank 40th by area and 52nd 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.
