What fits
- Guangxi fits inside Spain about 2.10 times by area.
- Spain is larger by 262,000 km² (101,000 mi²), which is 110% of the area of Guangxi.

How they differ
- Spain is larger, but Guangxi has the larger population: 50.1 million against 48.6 million, 1.03× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 211 in Guangxi against 96 in Spain: Guangxi is 2.20× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 10,000 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Spain at 40°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Guangxi at 24°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Spain as 3.03× the size of Guangxi instead of 2.10×.
- Together Spain and Guangxi cover 737,000 km², close to the size of Chile (736,000 km², 0.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 262,000 km², is about the size of Gabon (260,000 km²).
- At Guangxi's density, Spain would have 107.1 million people (it has 48.6 million). At Spain's density, Guangxi would have 22.7 million (it has 50.1 million).

- Spain lies about 17° of latitude (roughly 1,840 km) north of Guangxi.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Spain would have about 10,430 m² and each person in Guangxi about 4,730 m².
- Laid side by side, Spain and Guangxi would cover 737,000 km², about the same size as Chile.
- Together they have 98.7 million people, about as many people as Vietnam.

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.
