Delhi is 1.35× the size of Martinique
Delhi (union territory of India) covers about 1,480 km² (572 mi²) and Martinique (overseas region of France) about 1,100 km² (424 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Martinique is 74% of the size of Delhi.
- Delhi is larger by 385 km² (149 mi²), which is 35% of the area of Martinique.
- Measured in Belgiums: Delhi is about 0.05, Martinique about 0.04.
How they differ
- Delhi also has the larger population: 16.8 million against 361,000, 46.5× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 11,325 in Delhi against 329 in Martinique: Delhi is 34.4× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,400 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Delhi at 29°N is drawn about 1.3× too large and Martinique at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Delhi as 1.64× the size of Martinique instead of 1.35×.
- Together Delhi and Martinique cover 2,580 km², close to the size of Luxembourg (2,610 km², 1.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 385 km², is about the size of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (368 km²).
- At Martinique's density, Delhi would have 488,000 people (it has 16.8 million). At Delhi's density, Martinique would have 12.4 million (it has 361,000).
- Delhi's centre is 14.0° of latitude, about 1,560 km, farther north than Martinique's.
- Delhi is the 32nd largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Martinique is the 17th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Delhi lies about 14° of latitude (roughly 1,560 km) north of Martinique.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Delhi would have about 90 m² and each person in Martinique about 3,040 m².
- Laid side by side, Delhi and Martinique would cover 2,580 km², about the same size as Luxembourg.
- Together they have 17.1 million people, about as many people as Guatemala.
- Delhi is drawn from 40 points and Martinique is drawn from 72 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
