• Per square kilometre that is 6,534 in Tokyo against 628 in Mauritius: Tokyo is 10.4× as densely populated.
• Their centres are about 10,600 km apart.
• A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tokyo at 35°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Mauritius at 20°S about 1.1×, so the map shows Tokyo as 1.43× the size of Mauritius instead of 1.09×.
• Together Tokyo and Mauritius cover 4,180 km², close to the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km², 6.1% smaller).
• The gap between them, 183 km², is about the size of Aruba (170 km²).
• At Mauritius's density, Tokyo would have 1.4 million people (it has 14.3 million). At Tokyo's density, Mauritius would have 13.2 million (it has 1.3 million).

• Laid side by side, Tokyo and Mauritius would cover 4,180 km², 1.07× the size of Cape Verde.
• Together they have 15.5 million people, about as many people as Zimbabwe.
• Tokyo is drawn from 173 points and Mauritius is drawn from 26 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
• Counted as a country, Tokyo would rank 181st by area and 76th by population.
