- Djibouti
What fits
- Djibouti is 95% of the size of Tuscany.
- Tuscany is larger by 1,110 km² (430 mi²), which is 5.1% of the area of Djibouti.
- Measured in Belgiums: Tuscany is about 0.75, Djibouti about 0.71.
How they differ
- Tuscany also has the larger population: 3.7 million against 1.2 million, 3.23× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 162 in Tuscany against 53 in Djibouti: Tuscany is 3.08× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,640 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tuscany at 43°N is drawn about 1.9× too large and Djibouti at 12°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Tuscany as 1.91× the size of Djibouti instead of 1.05×.
- Together Tuscany and Djibouti cover 44,800 km², close to the size of Estonia (45,800 km², 2.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,110 km², is about the size of São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²).
- At Djibouti's density, Tuscany would have 1.2 million people (it has 3.7 million). At Tuscany's density, Djibouti would have 3.5 million (it has 1.2 million).
- Tuscany's centre is 31.7° of latitude, about 3,530 km, farther north than Djibouti'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.
- Djibouti ranks 153rd of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Tuscany lies about 32° of latitude (roughly 3,530 km) north of Djibouti.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tuscany would have about 6,160 m² and each person in Djibouti about 18,950 m².
- Laid side by side, Tuscany and Djibouti would cover 44,800 km², about the same size as Estonia.
- Together they have 4.9 million people, about as many people as Oman.
- Counted as a country, Tuscany would rank 150th by area and 133rd by population.

- Wikidata's official figure of 23,000 km² agrees with our measured area of 23,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 21,800 km² is 5.8% below Wikidata's official figure of 23,200 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. 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.
