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.

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.

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.

Accusing others of being negative and petty while being negative and petty, how about that. Not to mention the unwarranted navel-gazing, while being so sure about the intentions of other people's comments. I've seen the shitting on Belgium joke in other places outside Jetpunk too. It's a tongue-in-cheek thing and nothing else, but hey, that's how paranoia works.

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.
