What fits

Brunei fits inside Germany about 62.6 times by area.
Germany is larger by 352,000 km² (136,000 mi²), which is 6,157% of the area of Brunei.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 459,000, 182× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 80 in Brunei: Germany is 2.91× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 10,600 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Brunei at 5°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Germany as 157× the size of Brunei instead of 62.6×.
Together Germany and Brunei cover 363,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 2.8% bigger).
The gap between them, 352,000 km², is about the size of Republic of the Congo (345,000 km²).
At Brunei's density, Germany would have 28.7 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Brunei would have 1.3 million (it has 459,000).
Germany's centre is 46.5° of latitude, about 5,170 km, farther north than Brunei'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.
