What fits
- Saarland fits inside Asturias about 4.02 times by area.
- Asturias is larger by 8,020 km² (3,100 mi²), which is 302% of the area of Saarland.
- Measured in Belgiums: Asturias is about 0.35, Saarland about 0.09.
How they differ
- Asturias also has the larger population: 1.0 million against 1.0 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 379 in Saarland against 94 in Asturias: Saarland is 4.02× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,200 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Asturias at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Saarland at 49°N about 2.4×, so the map shows Asturias as 3.22× the size of Saarland instead of 4.02×.
- Together Asturias and Saarland cover 13,300 km², close to the size of Montenegro (13,700 km², 3.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 8,020 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Saarland's density, Asturias would have 4.1 million people (it has 1.0 million). At Asturias's density, Saarland would have 251,000 (it has 1.0 million).
- Saarland's centre is 6.1° of latitude, about 680 km, farther north than Asturias's.
- Asturias is the 10th largest of the 19 autonomous communities and cities of Spain and covers 2.1% of its area; it is the 12th most densely populated of them.
- Saarland is the 13th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.7% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Saarland lies about 6° of latitude (roughly 676 km) north of Asturias.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Asturias would have about 10,590 m² and each person in Saarland about 2,640 m².
- Laid side by side, Asturias and Saarland would cover 13,300 km², about the same size as Montenegro.
- Together they have 2.0 million people, about as many people as Lesotho.

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.
