Xinjiang is 37.1× the size of Haryana
Xinjiang (autonomous region of China) covers about 1,630,000 km² (629,000 mi²) and Haryana (state of India) about 43,900 km² (17,000 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Xinjiang: 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
- Haryana fits inside Xinjiang about 37.1 times by area.
- Xinjiang is larger by 1,586,000 km² (612,000 mi²), which is 3,610% of the area of Haryana.
- Measured in Belgiums: Xinjiang is about 53.2, Haryana about 1.43.
How they differ
- Xinjiang also has the larger population: 25.9 million against 25.4 million, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 577 in Haryana against 16 in Xinjiang: Haryana is 36.4× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,530 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Xinjiang at 41°N is drawn about 1.8× too large and Haryana at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Xinjiang as 49.7× the size of Haryana instead of 37.1×.
- Together Xinjiang and Haryana cover 1,674,000 km², close to the size of Libya (1,624,000 km², 3.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,586,000 km², is about the size of Mongolia (1,565,000 km²).
- At Haryana's density, Xinjiang would have 940.5 million people (it has 25.9 million). At Xinjiang's density, Haryana would have 697,000 (it has 25.4 million).
- Xinjiang's centre is 11.8° of latitude, about 1,320 km, farther north than Haryana's.
- Xinjiang is the largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 17% of its area; it is the 29th most densely populated of them.
- Haryana is the 21st largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.4% of its area; it is the 10th most densely populated of them.
- Xinjiang lies about 12° of latitude (roughly 1,320 km) north of Haryana.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Xinjiang would have about 63,060 m² and each person in Haryana about 1,730 m².
- Laid side by side, Xinjiang and Haryana would cover 1,674,000 km², 1.03× the size of Libya.
- Together they have 51.2 million people, about as many people as South Korea.

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.
