Ceuta: The boundary or political status of Ceuta is contested. Size Versus draws the Natural Earth de facto outline and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Ceuta is 80% of the size of Tuvalu.
- Tuvalu is larger by 4.5 km² (1.7 mi²), which is 24% of the area of Ceuta.
- Measured in Belgiums: Tuvalu is about 0.00, Ceuta about 0.00.
How they differ
- Tuvalu is larger, but Ceuta has the larger population: 83,000 against 11,000, 7.82× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,499 in Ceuta against 463 in Tuvalu: Ceuta is 9.72× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 16,900 km apart.
- On a standard web map Ceuta looks larger than Tuvalu: Tuvalu at 8°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Ceuta at 36°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Ceuta as 1.20× the size of Tuvalu, when Tuvalu is 1.24× the size of Ceuta.
- At Ceuta's density, Tuvalu would have 103,000 people (it has 11,000). At Tuvalu's density, Ceuta would have 8,560 (it has 83,000).
- Ceuta's centre is 43.7° of latitude, about 4,850 km, farther north than Tuvalu's.
- Tuvalu ranks 238th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Ceuta is the 18th largest of the 19 autonomous communities and cities of Spain and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Ceuta lies about 44° of latitude (roughly 4,850 km) north of Tuvalu, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tuvalu would have about 2,160 m² and each person in Ceuta about 220 m².
- Laid side by side, Tuvalu and Ceuta would cover 41.5 km², 1.22× the size of Sint Maarten.
- Tuvalu is drawn from 48 points and Ceuta is drawn from 9 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, Ceuta would rank 234th by area and 199th 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
- 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.
