What fits

Spain is 75% of the size of Myanmar.
Myanmar is larger by 164,000 km² (63,200 mi²), which is 33% of the area of Spain.
Measured in Belgiums: Myanmar is about 21.6, Spain about 16.3.

How they differ

Myanmar also has the larger population: 53.4 million against 48.6 million, 1.10× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 96 in Spain against 80 in Myanmar: Spain is 1.19× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 9,310 km apart.
On a standard web map Spain looks larger than Myanmar: Myanmar at 21°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Spain at 40°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Spain as 1.13× the size of Myanmar, when Myanmar is 1.33× the size of Spain.
Together Myanmar and Spain cover 1,163,000 km², close to the size of Niger (1,181,000 km², 1.6% bigger).
The gap between them, 164,000 km², is about the size of Somaliland (167,000 km²).
At Spain's density, Myanmar would have 63.6 million people (it has 53.4 million). At Myanmar's density, Spain would have 40.8 million (it has 48.6 million).
Spain's centre is 19.3° of latitude, about 2,140 km, farther north than Myanmar's.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
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.
