How they differ
- Fiji is larger, but Delaware has the larger population: 990,000 against 926,000, 1.07× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 191 in Delaware against 49 in Fiji: Delaware is 3.91× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 12,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Fiji at 17°S is drawn about 1.1× too large and Delaware at 39°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Fiji as 2.43× the size of Delaware instead of 3.66×.
- Together Fiji and Delaware cover 24,100 km², close to the size of Rwanda (25,300 km², 5.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 13,800 km², is about the size of Montenegro (13,700 km²).
- At Delaware's density, Fiji would have 3.6 million people (it has 926,000). At Fiji's density, Delaware would have 253,000 (it has 990,000).
- Delaware's centre is 56.4° of latitude, about 6,280 km, farther north than Fiji's.

- Delaware is the 49th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the 7th most densely populated of them.
- Delaware lies about 56° of latitude (roughly 6,280 km) north of Fiji, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Fiji would have about 20,440 m² and each person in Delaware about 5,220 m².
- Laid side by side, Fiji and Delaware would cover 24,100 km², 95% of the size of Rwanda.
- Together they have 1.9 million people, about as many people as Guinea-Bissau.

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.
