What fits
- Burundi is 99% of the size of Brittany.
- Brittany is larger by 298 km² (115 mi²), which is 1.1% of the area of Burundi.
- Measured in Belgiums: Brittany is about 0.89, Burundi about 0.88.
How they differ
- Brittany is larger, but Burundi has the larger population: 13.7 million against 3.4 million, 4.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 506 in Burundi against 125 in Brittany: Burundi is 4.04× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,550 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Brittany at 48°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Burundi at 3°S about 1.0×, so the map shows Brittany as 2.27× the size of Burundi instead of 1.01×.
- Together Brittany and Burundi cover 54,400 km², close to the size of Croatia (55,000 km², 1.2% bigger).
- The gap between them, 298 km², is about the size of Malta (326 km²).
- At Burundi's density, Brittany would have 13.8 million people (it has 3.4 million). At Brittany's density, Burundi would have 3.4 million (it has 13.7 million).
- Brittany's centre is 51.5° of latitude, about 5,730 km, farther north than Burundi's.
- Brittany is the 12th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 4.3% of its area; it is the 8th most densely populated of them.
- Burundi ranks 146th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Brittany lies about 52° of latitude (roughly 5,730 km) north of Burundi, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Brittany would have about 7,990 m² and each person in Burundi about 1,980 m².
- Laid side by side, Brittany and Burundi would cover 54,400 km², about the same size as Croatia.
- Together they have 17.1 million people, about as many people as Guatemala.
- Counted as a country, Brittany would rank 144th by area and 135th 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. The outline of Brittany is the departments Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
