How they differ

Armenia is larger, but Schleswig-Holstein has the larger population: 3.0 million against 2.9 million, 1.01× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 191 in Schleswig-Holstein against 99 in Armenia: Schleswig-Holstein is 1.93× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 3,020 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Armenia at 40°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Schleswig-Holstein at 54°N about 2.9×, so the map shows Armenia as 1.13× the size of Schleswig-Holstein instead of 1.92×.
Together Armenia and Schleswig-Holstein cover 45,000 km², close to the size of Estonia (45,800 km², 1.8% bigger).
The gap between them, 14,200 km², is about the size of Montenegro (13,700 km²).
At Schleswig-Holstein's density, Armenia would have 5.7 million people (it has 2.9 million). At Armenia's density, Schleswig-Holstein would have 1.5 million (it has 3.0 million).
Schleswig-Holstein's centre is 13.9° of latitude, about 1,550 km, farther north than Armenia's.
Armenia ranks 143rd of 246 countries and territories by area.
Schleswig-Holstein is the 12th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 4.3% of its area; it is the 10th most densely populated of them.
Schleswig-Holstein lies about 14° of latitude (roughly 1,550 km) north of Armenia.
Shared out evenly, each person in Armenia would have about 10,100 m² and each person in Schleswig-Holstein about 5,230 m².
Laid side by side, Armenia and Schleswig-Holstein would cover 45,000 km², about the same size as Estonia.
Together they have 5.9 million people, about as many people as Denmark.
Counted as a country, Schleswig-Holstein would rank 159th by area and 137th by population.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, 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.
