What fits
- Kagawa fits inside Fiji about 10.2 times by area.
- Fiji is larger by 17,100 km² (6,590 mi²), which is 921% of the area of Kagawa.
- Measured in Belgiums: Fiji is about 0.62, Kagawa about 0.06.
How they differ
- Fiji is larger, but Kagawa has the larger population: 949,000 against 926,000, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 512 in Kagawa against 49 in Fiji: Kagawa is 10.5× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,430 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Fiji at 17°S is drawn about 1.1× too large and Kagawa at 34°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Fiji as 7.67× the size of Kagawa instead of 10.2×.
- Together Fiji and Kagawa cover 20,800 km², close to the size of El Salvador (20,500 km², 1.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 17,100 km², is about the size of Eswatini (17,100 km²).
- At Kagawa's density, Fiji would have 9.7 million people (it has 926,000). At Fiji's density, Kagawa would have 91,000 (it has 949,000).
- Kagawa's centre is 51.7° of latitude, about 5,750 km, farther north than Fiji's.
- Fiji ranks 156th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Kagawa is the 47th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 0.5% of its area; it is the 11th most densely populated of them.
- Kagawa lies about 52° of latitude (roughly 5,750 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 Kagawa about 1,950 m².
- Laid side by side, Fiji and Kagawa would cover 20,800 km², about the same size as El Salvador.
- Together they have 1.9 million people, about as many people as Guinea-Bissau.
- Kagawa is drawn from 94 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Kagawa would rank 182nd by area and 162nd by population.

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.
