What fits

Cuba fits inside Germany about 3.25 times by area.
Germany is larger by 248,000 km² (95,700 mi²), which is 225% of the area of Cuba.
Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Cuba about 3.58.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 11.0 million, 7.60× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 100 in Cuba: Germany is 2.34× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 8,110 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Cuba at 22°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Germany as 7.11× the size of Cuba instead of 3.25×.
Together Germany and Cuba cover 468,000 km², close to the size of Papua New Guinea (465,000 km², 0.5% smaller).
The gap between them, 248,000 km², is about the size of Guinea (244,000 km²).
At Cuba's density, Germany would have 35.7 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Cuba would have 25.7 million (it has 11.0 million).
Germany's centre is 29.4° of latitude, about 3,270 km, farther north than Cuba'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.
