Tibet is 105× the size of Tripura
Tibet (autonomous region of China) covers about 1,130,000 km² (436,000 mi²) and Tripura (state of India) about 10,700 km² (4,150 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Tibet: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with India. 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
- Tripura fits inside Tibet about 105 times by area.
- Tibet is larger by 1,119,000 km² (432,000 mi²), which is 10,414% of the area of Tripura.
- Measured in Belgiums: Tibet is about 36.8, Tripura about 0.35.
How they differ
- Tibet is larger, but Tripura has the larger population: 3.7 million against 3.6 million, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 342 in Tripura against 3.2 in Tibet: Tripura is 106× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 953 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tibet at 32°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Tripura at 24°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Tibet as 122× the size of Tripura instead of 105×.
- Together Tibet and Tripura cover 1,141,000 km², close to the size of Colombia (1,135,000 km², 0.5% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,119,000 km², is about the size of Ethiopia (1,127,000 km²).
- At Tripura's density, Tibet would have 386.3 million people (it has 3.6 million). At Tibet's density, Tripura would have 35,000 (it has 3.7 million).
- Tibet's centre is 8.0° of latitude, about 890 km, farther north than Tripura's.
- Tibet is the 3rd largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 12% of its area; it is the 31st most densely populated of them.
- Tripura is the 28th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 17th most densely populated of them.
- Tibet lies about 8° of latitude (roughly 888 km) north of Tripura.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tibet would have about 309,690 m² and each person in Tripura about 2,920 m².
- Laid side by side, Tibet and Tripura would cover 1,141,000 km², about the same size as Colombia.
- Together they have 7.3 million people, about as many people as Kyrgyzstan.

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.
