How they differ
- East Timor is larger, but Fukushima has the larger population: 1.8 million against 1.4 million, 1.30× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 131 in Fukushima against 93 in East Timor: Fukushima is 1.41× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,350 km apart.
- On a standard web map Fukushima looks larger than East Timor: East Timor at 9°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Fukushima at 37°N about 1.6×, so the map shows Fukushima as 1.43× the size of East Timor, when East Timor is 1.08× the size of Fukushima.
- Together East Timor and Fukushima cover 29,100 km², close to the size of Armenia (29,600 km², 1.8% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,100 km², is about the size of São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²).
- At Fukushima's density, East Timor would have 2.0 million people (it has 1.4 million). At East Timor's density, Fukushima would have 1.3 million (it has 1.8 million).

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.
