What fits
- Berlin fits inside Uruguay about 199 times by area.
- Uruguay is larger by 176,000 km² (68,100 mi²), which is 19,842% of the area of Berlin.

How they differ
- Uruguay is larger, but Berlin has the larger population: 3.8 million against 3.4 million, 1.09× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 4,223 in Berlin against 19 in Uruguay: Berlin is 217× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 11,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Uruguay at 33°S is drawn about 1.4× too large and Berlin at 53°N about 2.7×, so the map shows Uruguay as 105× the size of Berlin instead of 199×.
- Together Uruguay and Berlin cover 178,000 km², close to the size of Cambodia (181,000 km², 1.6% bigger).
- The gap between them, 176,000 km², is about the size of Cambodia (181,000 km²).
- At Berlin's density, Uruguay would have 748.9 million people (it has 3.4 million). At Uruguay's density, Berlin would have 17,000 (it has 3.8 million).
- Berlin's centre is 85.3° of latitude, about 9,480 km, farther north than Uruguay's.

- Berlin lies about 85° of latitude (roughly 9,480 km) north of Uruguay, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Uruguay would have about 51,490 m² and each person in Berlin about 240 m².
- Laid side by side, Uruguay and Berlin would cover 178,000 km², about the same size as Cambodia.
- Together they have 7.2 million people, about as many people as Kyrgyzstan.
- Berlin is drawn from 57 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Berlin would rank 186th 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
- 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.
