- Their centres are about 8,620 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Greece at 39°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Fujian at 26°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Greece as 1.45× the size of Fujian instead of 1.09×.
- Together Greece and Fujian cover 252,000 km², close to the size of Ecuador (255,000 km², 1.2% bigger).
- The gap between them, 10,600 km², is about the size of Gambia (10,500 km²).
- At Fujian's density, Greece would have 45.2 million people (it has 10.5 million). At Greece's density, Fujian would have 9.6 million (it has 41.5 million).

- Greece lies about 13° of latitude (roughly 1,440 km) north of Fujian.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Greece would have about 12,530 m² and each person in Fujian about 2,910 m².
- Laid side by side, Greece and Fujian would cover 252,000 km², about the same size as Ecuador.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- 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.
