Uttarakhand: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Nepal. 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
- Denmark is 81% of the size of Uttarakhand.
- Uttarakhand is larger by 9,940 km² (3,840 mi²), which is 23% of the area of Denmark.
- Measured in Belgiums: Uttarakhand is about 1.72, Denmark about 1.39.
How they differ
- Uttarakhand also has the larger population: 10.1 million against 5.8 million, 1.73× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 136 in Denmark: Uttarakhand is 1.40× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,000 km apart.
- On a standard web map Denmark looks larger than Uttarakhand: Uttarakhand at 30°N is drawn about 1.3× too large and Denmark at 56°N about 3.2×, so the map shows Denmark as 1.93× the size of Uttarakhand, when Uttarakhand is 1.23× the size of Denmark.
- Together Uttarakhand and Denmark cover 95,300 km², close to the size of Liberia (95,300 km², 0.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 9,940 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Denmark's density, Uttarakhand would have 7.2 million people (it has 10.1 million). At Uttarakhand's density, Denmark would have 8.2 million (it has 5.8 million).
- Denmark's centre is 25.8° of latitude, about 2,870 km, farther north than Uttarakhand's.

- Denmark ranks 134th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Denmark lies about 26° of latitude (roughly 2,870 km) north of Uttarakhand.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Uttarakhand would have about 5,220 m² and each person in Denmark about 7,330 m².
- Laid side by side, Uttarakhand and Denmark would cover 95,300 km², about the same size as Liberia.
- Together they have 15.9 million people, 1.05× as many people as Zimbabwe.

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.
