The numbers for Monaco, Vatican, and Malta are rough estimates made by averaging the highest and lowest elevations. The true mean elevation is probably lower.

The Ardennes are quite hilly, our highest point is at 694m, and I'm reading that the average elevation is 181m.

Yes, I've always heard the Benelux region referred to as the "low countries". I want my money back.

He's imitating the many users on the site who can't comment without saying something petty, negative, and usually wrong about the United States.

I think you're just being petty, negative, and generally wrong about Jetpunk users, as well as Quizmaster's comment.

It's exactly what I said. Of course, there are other types of people here who can't seem to comment without saying something petty, negative, and usually wrong about other things. Such as other users they have some problem with.

I'm accurately describing what QM was doing. It was necessary in order to be accurate. It's been a running joke on the site for years. I can't help it if you haven't been following along.

Unless you forget one and can't figure out which one it is - turned out for me it was the one least guessed. :(

Please could you check Sweden? It has many mountains, I was very surprised to see 139m and checked https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_elevation

which has it as 320m (the others I checked tally with this source). Moldova is 139m in there

Only a few in the west really. It’s mostly quite flat, flatter than the UK certainly.

30 mtrs average elevation, that's why every time we Dutchies get to the top of a building with at least four floors we plant a flag in it :P

It's not mentioned as a caveat, but it's clear that Greenland is not counted. Even without the ice it's 400m+, and the rest of Denmark doesn't contribute much to the average.

Take the province of Limburg out of the average and the Netherlands would barely be in the positive.
