What fits

Hawaii is 83% of the size of Slovenia.
Slovenia is larger by 3,480 km² (1,340 mi²), which is 21% of the area of Hawaii.
Measured in Belgiums: Slovenia is about 0.66, Hawaii about 0.55.

How they differ

Slovenia also has the larger population: 2.1 million against 1.5 million, 1.42× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 102 in Slovenia against 86 in Hawaii: Slovenia is 1.18× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 12,600 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Slovenia at 46°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Hawaii at 20°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Slovenia as 2.21× the size of Hawaii instead of 1.21×.
Together Slovenia and Hawaii cover 37,200 km², close to the size of Netherlands (37,100 km², 0.2% smaller).
The gap between them, 3,480 km², is about the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km²).
At Hawaii's density, Slovenia would have 1.8 million people (it has 2.1 million). At Slovenia's density, Hawaii would have 1.7 million (it has 1.5 million).
Slovenia's centre is 25.9° of latitude, about 2,880 km, farther north than Hawaii's.
Slovenia ranks 155th of 246 countries and territories by area.
Hawaii is the 47th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 13th most densely populated of them.
Slovenia lies about 26° of latitude (roughly 2,880 km) north of Hawaii.
Shared out evenly, each person in Slovenia would have about 9,830 m² and each person in Hawaii about 11,580 m².
Laid side by side, Slovenia and Hawaii would cover 37,200 km², about the same size as the Netherlands.
Together they have 3.5 million people, about as many people as Eritrea.
Counted as a country, Hawaii would rank 159th by area and 155th by population.

Population: Wikidata 2018 and Wikidata 2020. Official figures: Wikidata (CC0).

Wikidata's official figure of 20,300 km² agrees with our measured area of 20,300 km², to within 2%.
Our measured 16,800 km² is 40% below Wikidata's official figure of 28,300 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 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.
