What fits
- Hamburg is 70% of the size of Martinique.
- Martinique is larger by 324 km² (125 mi²), which is 42% of the area of Hamburg.
- Measured in Belgiums: Martinique is about 0.04, Hamburg about 0.03.
How they differ
- Martinique is larger, but Hamburg has the larger population: 1.9 million against 361,000, 5.24× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 2,446 in Hamburg against 329 in Martinique: Hamburg is 7.43× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,450 km apart.
- On a standard web map Hamburg looks larger than Martinique: Martinique at 15°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Hamburg at 54°N about 2.8×, so the map shows Hamburg as 1.87× the size of Martinique, when Martinique is 1.42× the size of Hamburg.
- Together Martinique and Hamburg cover 1,870 km², close to the size of Mauritius (2,000 km², 6.9% bigger).
- The gap between them, 324 km², is about the size of Malta (326 km²).
- At Hamburg's density, Martinique would have 2.7 million people (it has 361,000). At Martinique's density, Hamburg would have 255,000 (it has 1.9 million).
- Hamburg's centre is 38.9° of latitude, about 4,320 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.
- Hamburg is the 15th largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Hamburg lies about 39° of latitude (roughly 4,320 km) north of Martinique.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Martinique would have about 3,040 m² and each person in Hamburg about 410 m².
- Laid side by side, Martinique and Hamburg would cover 1,870 km², 94% of the size of Mauritius.
- Together they have 2.3 million people, 94% as many people as Moldova.
- Martinique is drawn from 72 points and Hamburg is drawn from 52 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.
