What fits

Eswatini fits inside Germany about 20.9 times by area.
Germany is larger by 341,000 km² (131,000 mi²), which is 1,990% of the area of Eswatini.
Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Eswatini about 0.56.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 1.2 million, 67.8× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 72 in Eswatini: Germany is 3.25× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 8,880 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Eswatini at 27°S about 1.2×, so the map shows Germany as 42.3× the size of Eswatini instead of 20.9×.
Together Germany and Eswatini cover 375,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 0.3% smaller).
The gap between them, 341,000 km², is about the size of Republic of the Congo (345,000 km²).
At Eswatini's density, Germany would have 25.7 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Eswatini would have 4.0 million (it has 1.2 million).
Germany's centre is 77.6° of latitude, about 8,630 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.
