How they differ
- Romania is larger, but Florida has the larger population: 21.5 million against 19.1 million, 1.13× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 147 in Florida against 81 in Romania: Florida is 1.82× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,980 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Romania at 46°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Florida at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Romania as 2.56× the size of Florida instead of 1.61×.
- Together Romania and Florida cover 383,000 km², close to the size of Norway (382,000 km², 0.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 89,700 km², is about the size of Jordan (88,900 km²).
- At Florida's density, Romania would have 34.7 million people (it has 19.1 million). At Romania's density, Florida would have 11.8 million (it has 21.5 million).
- Romania's centre is 17.2° of latitude, about 1,910 km, farther north than Florida's.
- Romania ranks 83rd of 246 countries and territories by area.

- Romania lies about 17° of latitude (roughly 1,910 km) north of Florida.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Romania would have about 12,410 m² and each person in Florida about 6,810 m².
- Laid side by side, Romania and Florida would cover 383,000 km², about the same size as Norway.
- Together they have 40.6 million people, about as many people as Sudan.

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.
