What fits
- Haiti fits inside Germany about 13.3 times by area.
- Germany is larger by 331,000 km² (128,000 mi²), which is 1,230% of the area of Haiti.
- Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Haiti about 0.88.
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 408 in Haiti against 233 in Germany: Haiti is 1.75× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,900 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Haiti at 19°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Germany as 30.1× the size of Haiti instead of 13.3×.
- Together Germany and Haiti cover 385,000 km², close to the size of Norway (382,000 km², 0.7% smaller).
- The gap between them, 331,000 km², is about the size of Vietnam (329,000 km²).
- At Haiti's density, Germany would have 146.1 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Haiti would have 6.3 million (it has 11.0 million).
- Germany's centre is 32.1° of latitude, about 3,570 km, farther north than Haiti'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.
