How they differ

Poland is larger, but Philippines has the larger population: 112.7 million against 37.6 million, 3.00× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 384 in Philippines against 120 in Poland: Philippines is 3.21× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 9,880 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Poland at 52°N is drawn about 2.7× too large and Philippines at 12°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Poland as 2.72× the size of Philippines instead of 1.07×.
Together Poland and Philippines cover 607,000 km², close to the size of Central African Republic (618,000 km², 1.9% bigger).
The gap between them, 20,100 km², is about the size of Slovenia (20,300 km²).
At Philippines's density, Poland would have 120.5 million people (it has 37.6 million). At Poland's density, Philippines would have 35.1 million (it has 112.7 million).
Poland's centre is 40.4° of latitude, about 4,490 km, farther north than Philippines's.

Population: Wikidata 2024, covering each whole country. Official figures: Wikidata (CC0).

Wikidata's official figure of 313,000 km² agrees with our measured area of 313,000 km², to within 2%.
Our measured 293,000 km² is 15% below Wikidata's official figure of 343,000 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
