It's measured by multiplying the avg elevation above sea level by the area, all in km.

Fairly sure this is incorrect. According to Wikipedia, Kazakhstan (387m) has both a lower average elevation than Russia (600m), and of course it is much smaller (less than one sixth of Russia's land area). It should not be #1 here. The others may be incorrect as well.
