13 countries, 395 regions, side by side

Every region of 13 countries beside the closest region of another country, by area and by people, and the triples and pairs that agree on both counts: India (36 states and union territories), China (31 provinces and regions), United States (51 states and districts), Germany (16 states), France (18 regions), Italy (20 regions), Spain (19 autonomous communities and cities), Japan (47 prefectures), Brazil (27 states and districts), Canada (13 provinces and territories), Australia (8 states and territories), Mexico (32 states) and Thailand (77 provinces). One page answers what would otherwise be thousands.

Population figures are the newest each country’s regions have in Wikidata, or the census year they share, and the year is shown on every page. Years differ between countries, so a population match is a comparison of two published figures, not of one count.

Three at once

One region from each country, all three within 3% of each other in area, drawn at one scale. Each place appears once.

How the matches are made
Regions
India, China, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Mexico and Thailand: 395 first-level divisions from Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces (public domain), measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines; where the file draws the tier below (the departments of France, the provinces of Italy and Spain), those pieces are joined along their borders. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are separate entries in that file and are not among China’s 31.
Twins
For each region, the region of another country closest to it by area, and the one closest by population, by the ratio of the two figures. A cell is empty when nothing is within a factor of 2.
Triples and doubles
Three regions, one per country, within 3% in area; two regions of different countries within 6% in area and 10% in population. Each place appears once, tightest first.
Boundaries
De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth; the site takes no position on a disputed line and draws the same outline in every language.
Official figures
Area and population from Wikidata (CC0), fetched 2026-11-12; each region’s page shows the year of its population.
