What fits
- Bahrain is 89% of the size of Hamburg.
- Hamburg is larger by 85.6 km² (33.1 mi²), which is 12% of the area of Bahrain.
- Measured in Belgiums: Hamburg is about 0.03, Bahrain about 0.02.
How they differ
- Hamburg also has the larger population: 1.9 million against 1.6 million, 1.21× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 2,446 in Hamburg against 2,281 in Bahrain: Hamburg is 1.07× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,520 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Hamburg at 54°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Bahrain at 26°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Hamburg as 2.57× the size of Bahrain instead of 1.12×.
- Together Hamburg and Bahrain cover 1,460 km², close to the size of Comoros (1,670 km², 14% bigger).
- The gap between them, 85.6 km², is about the size of Maldives (109 km²).
- At Bahrain's density, Hamburg would have 1.8 million people (it has 1.9 million). At Hamburg's density, Bahrain would have 1.7 million (it has 1.6 million).
- Hamburg's centre is 27.5° of latitude, about 3,060 km, farther north than Bahrain's.
- Hamburg is the 15th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Bahrain ranks 189th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Hamburg lies about 28° of latitude (roughly 3,060 km) north of Bahrain.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Hamburg would have about 410 m² and each person in Bahrain about 440 m².
- Laid side by side, Hamburg and Bahrain would cover 1,460 km², 87% of the size of the Comoros.
- Together they have 3.5 million people, about as many people as Uruguay.
- Hamburg is drawn from 52 points and Bahrain is drawn from 84 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Hamburg would rank 186th by area and 149th by population.

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.
