What fits
- Oaxaca is 91% of the size of Zhejiang.
- Zhejiang is larger by 9,180 km² (3,540 mi²), which is 10.0% of the area of Oaxaca.

- Their centres are about 13,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Zhejiang at 29°N is drawn about 1.3× too large and Oaxaca at 17°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Zhejiang as 1.32× the size of Oaxaca instead of 1.10×.

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.
