A state is part of a country and comparing a state to a country in this context didn’t make sense. “Hey this subregion is smaller than your region”. In the same area you drive through at least 4 Germany states.
If you really want to play look at this.

If Germany was a US state, it would be the fifth largest by land area, but its population of 83mil is more than the two most populous US-states combined (CA 39mil + TX 32mil ≈ 71mil). Its top three states, population-wise (NW 18mil, BY 13mil, BW 11mil) would individually make it into the top ten (with BW being #10, so it’d get pushed out if we also add the other two).
So, yeah, the comparison isn’t really fair.
