What fits
- Ceará is 66% of the size of Victoria.
- Victoria is larger by 77,700 km² (30,000 mi²), which is 52% of the area of Ceará.
- Measured in Belgiums: Victoria is about 7.43, Ceará about 4.90.
How they differ
- Victoria is larger, but Ceará has the larger population: 8.8 million against 7.0 million, 1.25× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 59 in Ceará against 31 in Victoria: Ceará is 1.90× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 15,300 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Victoria at 37°S is drawn about 1.6× too large and Ceará at 5°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Victoria as 2.35× the size of Ceará instead of 1.52×.
- Together Victoria and Ceará cover 378,000 km², close to the size of Norway (382,000 km², 1.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 77,700 km², is about the size of Serbia (77,600 km²).
- At Ceará's density, Victoria would have 13.3 million people (it has 7.0 million). At Victoria's density, Ceará would have 4.6 million (it has 8.8 million).
- Ceará's centre is 31.8° of latitude, about 3,530 km, farther north than Victoria's.
- Victoria is the 6th largest of the 8 states and territories of Australia and covers 3.0% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Ceará is the 17th largest of the 27 states and districts of Brazil and covers 1.8% of its area; it is the 11th most densely populated of them.
- Ceará lies about 32° of latitude (roughly 3,530 km) north of Victoria.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Victoria would have about 32,510 m² and each person in Ceará about 17,080 m².
- Laid side by side, Victoria and Ceará would cover 378,000 km², about the same size as Norway.

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.
