How they differ
- Luxembourg is larger, but Saga has the larger population: 810,000 against 691,000, 1.17× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 331 in Saga against 265 in Luxembourg: Saga is 1.25× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,260 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Luxembourg at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Saga at 33°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Luxembourg as 1.79× the size of Saga instead of 1.07×.
- Together Luxembourg and Saga cover 5,060 km², close to the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,120 km², 1.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 161 km², is about the size of Marshall Islands (165 km²).
- At Saga's density, Luxembourg would have 863,000 people (it has 691,000). At Luxembourg's density, Saga would have 648,000 (it has 810,000).
- Luxembourg's centre is 16.5° of latitude, about 1,830 km, farther north than Saga's.

- Luxembourg lies about 16° of latitude (roughly 1,830 km) north of Saga.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Luxembourg would have about 3,780 m² and each person in Saga about 3,020 m².
- Laid side by side, Luxembourg and Saga would cover 5,060 km², about the same size as Trinidad and Tobago.
- Together they have 1.5 million people, 1.07× as many people as East Timor.
- Saga is drawn from 74 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Saga would rank 181st by area and 165th 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.
