Osaka is 1.12× the size of Guadeloupe
Osaka (prefecture of Japan) covers about 1,860 km² (716 mi²) and Guadeloupe (overseas region of France) about 1,660 km² (640 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Guadeloupe is 89% of the size of Osaka.
- Osaka is larger by 198 km² (76.3 mi²), which is 12% of the area of Guadeloupe.
- Measured in Belgiums: Osaka is about 0.06, Guadeloupe about 0.05.
How they differ
- Osaka also has the larger population: 8.8 million against 384,000, 23.0× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,758 in Osaka against 231 in Guadeloupe: Osaka is 20.6× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Osaka at 35°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Guadeloupe at 16°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Osaka as 1.52× the size of Guadeloupe instead of 1.12×.
- Together Osaka and Guadeloupe cover 3,510 km², close to the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km², 5.5% smaller).
- The gap between them, 198 km², is about the size of Aruba (170 km²).
- At Guadeloupe's density, Osaka would have 429,000 people (it has 8.8 million). At Osaka's density, Guadeloupe would have 7.9 million (it has 384,000).
- Osaka's centre is 18.4° of latitude, about 2,040 km, farther north than Guadeloupe's.
- Osaka is the 46th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 0.5% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Guadeloupe is the 16th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Osaka lies about 18° of latitude (roughly 2,040 km) north of Guadeloupe.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Osaka would have about 210 m² and each person in Guadeloupe about 4,320 m².
- Laid side by side, Osaka and Guadeloupe would cover 3,510 km², 89% of the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 9.2 million people, about as many people as Switzerland.
- Osaka is drawn from 55 points and Guadeloupe is drawn from 94 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.
