What fits
- Hunan is 93% of the size of Victoria.
- Victoria is larger by 16,600 km² (6,410 mi²), which is 7.9% of the area of Hunan.
- Measured in Belgiums: Victoria is about 7.43, Hunan about 6.89.
How they differ
- Victoria is larger, but Hunan has the larger population: 66.4 million against 7.0 million, 9.48× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 314 in Hunan against 31 in Victoria: Hunan is 10.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,940 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Victoria at 37°S is drawn about 1.6× too large and Hunan at 28°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Victoria as 1.32× the size of Hunan instead of 1.08×.
- Together Victoria and Hunan cover 439,000 km², close to the size of Iraq (437,000 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 16,600 km², is about the size of Eswatini (17,100 km²).
- At Hunan's density, Victoria would have 71.7 million people (it has 7.0 million). At Victoria's density, Hunan would have 6.5 million (it has 66.4 million).
- Hunan's centre is 64.5° of latitude, about 7,170 km, farther north than Victoria's.

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.
