Their centres are about 8,850 km apart.
On a standard web map Baden-Württemberg looks larger than Yucatán: Yucatán at 21°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Baden-Württemberg at 49°N about 2.3×, so the map shows Baden-Württemberg as 1.88× the size of Yucatán, when Yucatán is 1.06× the size of Baden-Württemberg.
Together Yucatán and Baden-Württemberg cover 74,500 km², close to the size of Panama (74,500 km², 0.0% bigger).
The gap between them, 2,260 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
At Baden-Württemberg's density, Yucatán would have 11.8 million people (it has 2.3 million). At Yucatán's density, Baden-Württemberg would have 2.2 million (it has 11.1 million).
Baden-Württemberg's centre is 27.8° of latitude, about 3,090 km, farther north than Yucatán's.
Yucatán is the 20th largest of the 32 states of Mexico and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 17th most densely populated of them.
Baden-Württemberg is the 3rd largest of the 16 states of Germany and covers 10% of its area; it is the 6th most densely populated of them.
Baden-Württemberg lies about 28° of latitude (roughly 3,090 km) north of Yucatán.
Shared out evenly, each person in Yucatán would have about 16,540 m² and each person in Baden-Württemberg about 3,250 m².
Laid side by side, Yucatán and Baden-Württemberg would cover 74,500 km², about the same size as Panama.
Together they have 13.4 million people, about as many people as Burundi.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
