- Saarland lies about 35° of latitude (roughly 3,940 km) north of Nakhon Pathom.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Saarland would have about 2,640 m² and each person in Nakhon Pathom about 2,290 m².
- Laid side by side, Saarland and Nakhon Pathom would cover 4,760 km², 93% of the size of Trinidad and Tobago.
- Together they have 1.9 million people, 1.04× as many people as Guinea-Bissau.

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.
