What fits
- Uzbekistan is 96% of the size of Cameroon.
- Cameroon is larger by 16,500 km² (6,370 mi²), which is 3.7% of the area of Uzbekistan.
- Measured in Belgiums: Cameroon is about 15.1, Uzbekistan about 14.6.
How they differ
- Cameroon is larger, but Uzbekistan has the larger population: 34.9 million against 28.4 million, 1.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 78 in Uzbekistan against 61 in Cameroon: Uzbekistan is 1.28× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,390 km apart.
- On a standard web map Uzbekistan looks larger than Cameroon: Cameroon at 6°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Uzbekistan at 42°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Uzbekistan as 1.72× the size of Cameroon, when Cameroon is 1.04× the size of Uzbekistan.
- Together Cameroon and Uzbekistan cover 912,000 km², close to the size of Venezuela (913,000 km², 0.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 16,500 km², is about the size of Eswatini (17,100 km²).
- At Uzbekistan's density, Cameroon would have 36.2 million people (it has 28.4 million). At Cameroon's density, Uzbekistan would have 27.4 million (it has 34.9 million).
- Uzbekistan's centre is 36.1° of latitude, about 4,010 km, farther north than Cameroon'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.
