What fits
- Bremen fits inside Kochi about 18.4 times by area.
- Kochi is larger by 6,700 km² (2,590 mi²), which is 1,738% of the area of Bremen.
- Measured in Belgiums: Kochi is about 0.23, Bremen about 0.01.
How they differ
- Kochi is larger, but Bremen has the larger population: 693,000 against 689,000, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 1,797 in Bremen against 97 in Kochi: Bremen is 18.5× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,000 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Kochi at 33°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Bremen at 53°N about 2.8×, so the map shows Kochi as 9.47× the size of Bremen instead of 18.4×.
- Together Kochi and Bremen cover 7,470 km², close to the size of Palestine (6,070 km², 19% smaller).
- The gap between them, 6,700 km², is about the size of Palestine (6,070 km²).
- At Bremen's density, Kochi would have 12.7 million people (it has 689,000). At Kochi's density, Bremen would have 37,000 (it has 693,000).
- Bremen's centre is 19.8° of latitude, about 2,200 km, farther north than Kochi's.
- Kochi is the 17th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the 43rd most densely populated of them.
- Bremen is the 16th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.1% of its area; it is the 3rd most densely populated of them.
- Bremen lies about 20° of latitude (roughly 2,200 km) north of Kochi.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Kochi would have about 10,290 m² and each person in Bremen about 560 m².
- Laid side by side, Kochi and Bremen would cover 7,470 km², 1.31× the size of Brunei.
- Together they have 1.4 million people, about as many people as Estonia.
- Bremen is drawn from 43 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

- Wikidata's official figure of 7,100 km² agrees with our measured area of 7,090 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 386 km² is 8.0% below Wikidata's official figure of 419 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
