How they differ

Belize is larger, but Slovenia has the larger population: 2.1 million against 411,000, 5.03× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 102 in Slovenia against 18 in Belize: Slovenia is 5.52× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 9,630 km apart.
On a standard web map Slovenia looks larger than Belize: Belize at 17°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Slovenia at 46°N about 2.1×, so the map shows Slovenia as 1.73× the size of Belize, when Belize is 1.10× the size of Slovenia.
Together Belize and Slovenia cover 42,600 km², close to the size of Denmark (42,700 km², 0.2% bigger).
The gap between them, 1,970 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
At Slovenia's density, Belize would have 2.3 million people (it has 411,000). At Belize's density, Slovenia would have 375,000 (it has 2.1 million).
Slovenia's centre is 28.9° of latitude, about 3,210 km, farther north than Belize's.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
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.
