Driving around Germany is probanly a similar distance, it just doesn't take as long.
Best I got without doing any double takes was Flensburg - Düsseldorf - Freiburg - Friedrichshafen - Deggendorf - Dresden - Rostock - Kiel, for a total of about 28 hrs and approx 2,559 km (~1,500 miles).

Might be able to eke out those extra 200 miles by including Saarbrücken.
For France I got a 39h/3,926km Tour de France

Very Nice (pun intended).
It kinda looks like a starfish.
I got a 34 hour loop around Italy without trying to follow the slow local coastal roads and not having to veer too close to France. 😘
If you do the same tour de france without highway you arrive to a 65h trip (and as a side effect you get some amazing views !)
Some examples of the road along the way
Chatgpt estimates a trip around the outer most Autobahn at a 3k to 4k Kilometer. Taking 30-40 hours to drive.
Unfortunately LLMs are specifically terrible at this kind of calculation
Germany is smaller than several US states. Germany would fit twice into Texas and four times into Alaska, for instance.
