- Per square kilometre that is 162 in Tuscany against 18 in Belize: Tuscany is 8.81× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,460 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tuscany at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Belize at 17°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Tuscany as 1.78× the size of Belize instead of 1.03×.
- Together Tuscany and Belize cover 45,300 km², close to the size of Estonia (45,800 km², 1.2% bigger).
- The gap between them, 662 km², is about the size of Bahrain (688 km²).
- At Belize's density, Tuscany would have 423,000 people (it has 3.7 million). At Tuscany's density, Belize would have 3.6 million (it has 411,000).
- Tuscany's centre is 26.2° of latitude, about 2,920 km, farther north than Belize's.
- Tuscany is the 5th largest of the 20 regions of Italy and covers 7.6% of its area; it is the 11th most densely populated of them.
- Belize ranks 151st of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Tuscany lies about 26° of latitude (roughly 2,920 km) north of Belize.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tuscany would have about 6,160 m² and each person in Belize about 54,240 m².
- Laid side by side, Tuscany and Belize would cover 45,300 km², about the same size as Estonia.
- Together they have 4.1 million people, 1.05× as many people as Georgia.
- Counted as a country, Tuscany would rank 150th by area and 133rd 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 Tuscany 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.
