What fits
- Honduras is 100% of the size of Bulgaria.
- The measured areas differ by 524 km², less than half a percent: closer than the measurement itself is certain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Bulgaria is about 3.68, Honduras about 3.66.
How they differ
- Bulgaria is larger, but Honduras has the larger population: 8.3 million against 6.4 million, 1.29× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 74 in Honduras against 57 in Bulgaria: Honduras is 1.30× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 10,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Bulgaria at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Honduras at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Bulgaria as 1.74× the size of Honduras instead of 1.00×.
- Together Bulgaria and Honduras cover 225,000 km², close to the size of Laos (228,000 km², 1.4% bigger).
- At Honduras's density, Bulgaria would have 8.3 million people (it has 6.4 million). At Bulgaria's density, Honduras would have 6.4 million (it has 8.3 million).
- Bulgaria's centre is 27.9° of latitude, about 3,110 km, farther north than Honduras'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.
