What fits
- Fiji fits inside Germany about 18.9 times by area.
- Germany is larger by 339,000 km² (131,000 mi²), which is 1,789% of the area of Fiji.
- Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Fiji about 0.62.
How they differ
- Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 926,000, 90.1× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 49 in Fiji: Germany is 4.77× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 16,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Fiji at 17°S about 1.1×, so the map shows Germany as 43.5× the size of Fiji instead of 18.9×.
- Together Germany and Fiji cover 377,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 0.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 339,000 km², is about the size of Finland (333,000 km²).
- At Fiji's density, Germany would have 17.5 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Fiji would have 4.4 million (it has 926,000).
- Germany's centre is 68.5° of latitude, about 7,620 km, farther north than Fiji'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.
