How they differ

Fiji is larger, but Eswatini has the larger population: 1.2 million against 926,000, 1.33× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 72 in Eswatini against 49 in Fiji: Eswatini is 1.47× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 14,000 km apart.
On a standard web map Eswatini looks larger than Fiji: Fiji at 17°S is drawn about 1.1× too large and Eswatini at 27°S about 1.2×, so the map shows Eswatini as 1.03× the size of Fiji, when Fiji is 1.11× the size of Eswatini.
Together Fiji and Eswatini cover 36,000 km², close to the size of Taiwan (36,200 km², 0.4% bigger).
The gap between them, 1,820 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
At Eswatini's density, Fiji would have 1.4 million people (it has 926,000). At Fiji's density, Eswatini would have 837,000 (it has 1.2 million).
Fiji's centre is 9.1° of latitude, about 1,010 km, farther north than Eswatini'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.
