What fits

Jamaica fits inside Germany about 32.4 times by area.
Germany is larger by 347,000 km² (134,000 mi²), which is 3,142% of the area of Jamaica.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 2.7 million, 30.9× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 245 in Jamaica against 233 in Germany: Jamaica is 1.05× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 8,290 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Jamaica at 18°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Germany as 74.1× the size of Jamaica instead of 32.4×.
Together Germany and Jamaica cover 369,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 1.3% bigger).

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.
