- Shared out evenly, each person in Eswatini would have about 13,910 m² and each person in Hawaii about 11,580 m².
- Laid side by side, Eswatini and Hawaii would cover 34,000 km², about the same size as Moldova.
- Together they have 2.7 million people, about as many people as Jamaica.

- Wikidata's official figure of 17,400 km² agrees with our measured area of 17,100 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 16,800 km² is 40% below Wikidata's official figure of 28,300 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
