I’ve just returned from a week’s holiday in Montenegro and Serbia. I was surprised at how tall both the men and women were in both nations, so I’ve done a little research and I find that these are the 10 tallest countries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world’s 10 tallest countries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Netherlands – 1.838m<\/li>
  2. Montenegro – 1.832m<\/li>
  3. Denmark – 1.826m<\/li>
  4. Norway – 1.824m<\/li>
  5. Serbia – 1.82m<\/li>
  6. Germany – 1.81m<\/li>
  7. Croatia – 1.805m<\/li>
  8. Czech Republic – 1.8031m<\/li>
  9. Slovenia – 1.803m<\/li>
  10. Luxembourg – 1.799m<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, it was not just my imagination. Montenegro and Serbia are second and fifth respectively. Interestingly, two other former republics of the former Yugoslavia – Croatia and Slovenia – are also in the top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, what about the opposite end of the scale? Here’s the relevant data: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The world’s 10 shortest countries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Indonesia – 1.58m<\/li>
    2. Bolivia – 1.6m<\/li>
    3. Philippines – 1.619m<\/li>
    4. Vietnam – 1.621m<\/li>
    5. Cambodia – 1.625m<\/li>
    6. Nepal – 1.63m<\/li>
    7. Ecuador – 1.635m<\/li>
    8. Sri Lanka – 1.636m<\/li>
    9. Nigeria – 1.638m<\/li>
    10. Peru – 1.64m<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      All these data is for men, but the picture for women is similar. You can learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
