What fits
- Kyrgyzstan is 56% of the size of Germany.
- Germany is larger by 159,000 km² (61,300 mi²), which is 80% of the area of Kyrgyzstan.
- Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Kyrgyzstan about 6.49.
How they differ
- Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 7.3 million, 11.5× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 37 in Kyrgyzstan: Germany is 6.38× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,880 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Kyrgyzstan at 41°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Germany as 2.55× the size of Kyrgyzstan instead of 1.80×.
- Together Germany and Kyrgyzstan cover 557,000 km², close to the size of France (548,000 km², 1.6% smaller).
- The gap between them, 159,000 km², is about the size of Tunisia (157,000 km²).
- At Kyrgyzstan's density, Germany would have 13.1 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Kyrgyzstan would have 46.4 million (it has 7.3 million).
- Germany's centre is 9.6° of latitude, about 1,060 km, farther north than Kyrgyzstan'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.
