What fits

Kosovo fits inside Germany about 32.8 times by area.
Germany is larger by 347,000 km² (134,000 mi²), which is 3,177% of the area of Kosovo.
Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Kosovo about 0.36.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 1.6 million, 52.6× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 145 in Kosovo: Germany is 1.61× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 1,230 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Kosovo at 43°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Germany as 45.0× the size of Kosovo instead of 32.8×.
Together Germany and Kosovo cover 369,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 1.3% bigger).
The gap between them, 347,000 km², is about the size of Republic of the Congo (345,000 km²).
At Kosovo's density, Germany would have 52.0 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Kosovo would have 2.5 million (it has 1.6 million).
Germany's centre is 8.5° of latitude, about 940 km, farther north than Kosovo'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.
