What fits
- Guizhou is 77% of the size of Victoria.
- Victoria is larger by 52,800 km² (20,400 mi²), which is 30% of the area of Guizhou.
- Measured in Belgiums: Victoria is about 7.43, Guizhou about 5.71.
How they differ
- Victoria is larger, but Guizhou has the larger population: 38.6 million against 7.0 million, 5.50× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 220 in Guizhou against 31 in Victoria: Guizhou is 7.16× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,090 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Victoria at 37°S is drawn about 1.6× too large and Guizhou at 27°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Victoria as 1.62× the size of Guizhou instead of 1.30×.
- Together Victoria and Guizhou cover 403,000 km², close to the size of Paraguay (400,000 km², 0.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 52,800 km², is about the size of Bosnia and Herzegovina (51,800 km²).
- At Guizhou's density, Victoria would have 50.2 million people (it has 7.0 million). At Victoria's density, Guizhou would have 5.4 million (it has 38.6 million).
- Guizhou's centre is 63.7° of latitude, about 7,080 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.
- Guizhou is the 16th largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 19th most densely populated of them.
- Guizhou lies about 64° of latitude (roughly 7,080 km) north of Victoria, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Victoria would have about 32,510 m² and each person in Guizhou about 4,540 m².
- Laid side by side, Victoria and Guizhou would cover 403,000 km², about the same size as Paraguay.
- Together they have 45.6 million people, about as many people as Algeria.

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.
