You should check your sources, Greece?!?!?!? Anyway, I'm in the tallest country in the world, and I'm around 3 inches taller than average. Which isn't even that tall around here.

This source isn't consistent. e.g. Norway's data are from military conscripts, Finland is self-reported. However, I'm not saying they are completely wrong because the Dutch ARE the tallest in the world followed by the Scandinavians. Australia should be higher up on this list though, Greece is a big surprise.

Surprised at Greece, too - I remember reading how short the ancient Greeks were, so I discounted the whole country, forgetting they weren't ancient anymore. BTW, I just moved to your hometown of Nanaimo.

Among the tallest countries in the world, if not THE tallest, are the ones from the Dinaric Alps region in the Balkans, especially Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Serbia. I highly doubt the Netherlands is ahead any of these countries.

hmm.. I'm an Swedish-American woman, and I'm just slightly taller than the men's average for Sweden.

So Ivo Karlovic, Goran Ivanisevic etc. aren't enough to get Croatia onto the list?

Estonia was a logic answer, taking into account Estonians are closely related to Finns. But Greece?? I'm from Spain, and I would say Mediterranean people are not very tall in average... But not seeing Belgium was perhaps a greater surprise.
