What fits
- Fiji is 93% of the size of Slovenia.
- Slovenia is larger by 1,400 km² (539 mi²), which is 7.4% of the area of Fiji.
- Measured in Belgiums: Slovenia is about 0.66, Fiji about 0.62.
How they differ
- Slovenia also has the larger population: 2.1 million against 926,000, 2.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 102 in Slovenia against 49 in Fiji: Slovenia is 2.08× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 16,500 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Slovenia at 46°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Fiji at 17°S about 1.1×, so the map shows Slovenia as 2.03× the size of Fiji instead of 1.07×.
- Together Slovenia and Fiji cover 39,300 km², close to the size of Bhutan (40,400 km², 3.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,400 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
- At Fiji's density, Slovenia would have 995,000 people (it has 2.1 million). At Slovenia's density, Fiji would have 1.9 million (it has 926,000).
- Slovenia's centre is 63.6° of latitude, about 7,070 km, farther north than Fiji'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.
