- Their centres are about 7,820 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Ireland at 53°N is drawn about 2.8× too large and Campeche at 19°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Ireland as 3.03× the size of Campeche instead of 1.22×.
- Together Ireland and Campeche cover 127,000 km², close to the size of Nicaragua (129,000 km², 1.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 12,300 km², is about the size of Vanuatu (12,300 km²).
- At Campeche's density, Ireland would have 1.1 million people (it has 5.1 million). At Ireland's density, Campeche would have 4.2 million (it has 928,000).

- Ireland lies about 34° of latitude (roughly 3,820 km) north of Campeche.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ireland would have about 13,490 m² and each person in Campeche about 61,550 m².
- Laid side by side, Ireland and Campeche would cover 127,000 km², about the same size as Nicaragua.
- Together they have 6.1 million people, about as many people as Lebanon.

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.
