What fits

Oman is 87% of the size of Germany.
Germany is larger by 46,500 km² (17,900 mi²), which is 15% of the area of Oman.
Measured in Belgiums: Germany is about 11.7, Oman about 10.1.

How they differ

Germany also has the larger population: 83.5 million against 4.8 million, 17.3× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 233 in Germany against 16 in Oman: Germany is 15.0× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 5,210 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Germany at 51°N is drawn about 2.5× too large and Oman at 21°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Germany as 2.55× the size of Oman instead of 1.15×.
Together Germany and Oman cover 669,000 km², close to the size of Myanmar (663,000 km², 0.9% smaller).
The gap between them, 46,500 km², is about the size of Estonia (45,800 km²).
At Oman's density, Germany would have 5.6 million people (it has 83.5 million). At Germany's density, Oman would have 72.6 million (it has 4.8 million).
Germany's centre is 30.5° of latitude, about 3,390 km, farther north than Oman'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.
