- Shared out evenly, each person in Martinique would have about 3,040 m² and each person in Dominica about 9,780 m².
- Laid side by side, Martinique and Dominica would cover 1,830 km², 1.09× the size of the Comoros.
- Together they have 436,000 people, 95% as many people as Brunei.
- Martinique is drawn from 72 points and Dominica is drawn from 32 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, Martinique would rank 184th by area and 178th 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.
