Country Size Comparison
Search two places and compare their land area with proportional circles, square kilometres, square miles, and an exact ratio.
Country comparison guides
Ten useful pairs,
already explained.
Each guide uses the same land-area definition and adds context that a ratio alone cannot provide.
One consistent measure

The dataset uses the World Bank’s 2023 Land area (sq. km) indicator. It excludes inland water and should not be confused with total surface area.
