How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 17.5 million, 4.76× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 72 in Guinea: Germany is 3.25× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 4,920 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Guinea at 10°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Germany as 3.58× the size of Guinea instead of 1.46×.
Together Germany and Guinea cover 602,000 km², close to the size of Madagascar (593,000 km², 1.5% smaller).
The gap between them, 113,000 km², is about the size of Bulgaria (113,000 km²).
At Guinea's density, Germany would have 25.7 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Guinea would have 57.0 million (it has 17.5 million).
Germany's centre is 40.6° of latitude, about 4,520 km, farther north than Guinea'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.
