What fits
- Berlin is 81% of the size of Martinique.
- Martinique is larger by 208 km² (80.4 mi²), which is 23% of the area of Berlin.
- Measured in Belgiums: Martinique is about 0.04, Berlin about 0.03.
How they differ
- Martinique is larger, but Berlin has the larger population: 3.8 million against 361,000, 10.4× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,223 in Berlin against 329 in Martinique: Berlin is 12.8× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,670 km apart.
- On a standard web map Berlin looks larger than Martinique: Martinique at 15°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Berlin at 53°N about 2.7×, so the map shows Berlin as 2.05× the size of Martinique, when Martinique is 1.23× the size of Berlin.
- Together Martinique and Berlin cover 1,990 km², close to the size of Mauritius (2,000 km², 0.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 208 km², is about the size of Aruba (170 km²).
- At Berlin's density, Martinique would have 4.6 million people (it has 361,000). At Martinique's density, Berlin would have 293,000 (it has 3.8 million).
- Berlin's centre is 37.8° of latitude, about 4,210 km, farther north than Martinique's.
- Martinique is the 17th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Berlin is the 14th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Berlin lies about 38° of latitude (roughly 4,210 km) north of Martinique.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Martinique would have about 3,040 m² and each person in Berlin about 240 m².
- Laid side by side, Martinique and Berlin would cover 1,990 km², about the same size as Mauritius.
- Together they have 4.1 million people, 1.05× as many people as Georgia.
- Martinique is drawn from 72 points and Berlin is drawn from 57 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

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.
