What fits
- Catalonia is 56% of the size of Togo.
- Togo is larger by 24,900 km² (9,610 mi²), which is 78% of the area of Catalonia.
- Measured in Belgiums: Togo is about 1.85, Catalonia about 1.04.
How they differ
- Togo is larger, but Catalonia has the larger population: 8.0 million against 7.8 million, 1.03× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 251 in Catalonia against 137 in Togo: Catalonia is 1.83× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 3,700 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Togo at 9°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Catalonia at 42°N about 1.8×, so the map shows Togo as 1.01× the size of Catalonia instead of 1.78×.
- Together Togo and Catalonia cover 88,800 km², close to the size of Jordan (88,900 km², 0.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 24,900 km², is about the size of Rwanda (25,300 km²).
- At Catalonia's density, Togo would have 14.3 million people (it has 7.8 million). At Togo's density, Catalonia would have 4.4 million (it has 8.0 million).
- Catalonia's centre is 33.3° of latitude, about 3,700 km, farther north than Togo's.
- Togo ranks 127th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Catalonia is the 6th largest of the 19 autonomous communities and cities of Spain and covers 6.3% of its area; it is the 6th most densely populated of them.
- Catalonia lies about 33° of latitude (roughly 3,700 km) north of Togo.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Togo would have about 7,290 m² and each person in Catalonia about 3,980 m².
- Laid side by side, Togo and Catalonia would cover 88,800 km², about the same size as Jordan.
- Together they have 15.8 million people, 1.04× as many people as Zimbabwe.
- Counted as a country, Catalonia would rank 140th by area and 101st by population.

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. The outline of Catalonia is the provinces Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
