How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 17.4 million, 4.79× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 96 in Cambodia: Germany is 2.42× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 9,220 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Cambodia at 13°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Germany as 4.76× the size of Cambodia instead of 1.98×.
Together Germany and Cambodia cover 539,000 km², close to the size of France (548,000 km², 1.7% bigger).
The gap between them, 177,000 km², is about the size of Uruguay (177,000 km²).
At Cambodia's density, Germany would have 34.4 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Cambodia would have 42.3 million (it has 17.4 million).
Germany's centre is 38.3° of latitude, about 4,260 km, farther north than Cambodia'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.
