What fits
- Dominica is 82% of the size of Berlin.
- Berlin is larger by 159 km² (61.4 mi²), which is 22% of the area of Dominica.

How they differ
- Berlin also has the larger population: 3.8 million against 75,000, 50.3× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,223 in Berlin against 102 in Dominica: Berlin is 41.3× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,620 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Berlin at 53°N is drawn about 2.7× too large and Dominica at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Berlin as 3.05× the size of Dominica instead of 1.22×.
- Together Berlin and Dominica cover 1,620 km², close to the size of Comoros (1,670 km², 3.2% bigger).
- The gap between them, 159 km², is about the size of Marshall Islands (165 km²).
- At Dominica's density, Berlin would have 91,000 people (it has 3.8 million). At Berlin's density, Dominica would have 3.1 million (it has 75,000).
- Berlin's centre is 37.1° of latitude, about 4,120 km, farther north than Dominica's.
- Berlin is the 14th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Dominica ranks 188th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Berlin lies about 37° of latitude (roughly 4,120 km) north of Dominica.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Berlin would have about 240 m² and each person in Dominica about 9,780 m².
- Laid side by side, Berlin and Dominica would cover 1,620 km², 97% of the size of the Comoros.
- Together they have 3.8 million people, about as many people as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Berlin is drawn from 57 points and Dominica is drawn from 32 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Berlin would rank 186th by area and 133rd 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.
