What fits
- Tianjin fits inside Burundi about 2.36 times by area.
- Burundi is larger by 15,600 km² (6,010 mi²), which is 136% of the area of Tianjin.

- Their centres are about 10,000 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Burundi at 3°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Tianjin at 39°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Burundi as 1.42× the size of Tianjin instead of 2.36×.
- Together Burundi and Tianjin cover 38,500 km², close to the size of Netherlands (37,100 km², 3.7% smaller).

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.
