And that kids is why Andorra exists. They have the high ground and we’re no fools.
If Northern Ireland joins Ireland , will they shoot 50m iup?
Average elevation for Spain is too high. High elevation together with [semi-arid (Bsk) climate, are Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Angola, Mongolia and the others, no single developed country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-arid_climate). By international standard, Spain with its massive semi-arid plateau, is too overpopulated. If Spain wants to avoid itself from becoming Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Yemen, it MUST control its population.
Inland US states like Montana and Nevada also have high elevation and semi-arid climate, but their population density is very low. In order to catch up with those poorer US states, Spain should reduce its population. Plateau cannot sustain high population density, once a country with massive semi-arid plateau becomes overpopulated, it is very likely to return to poverty, no solution.
I see western Europe will soon be an island.
Good.
Surprised about Russia being this high, especially compared to the Caucasus neighbour Azerbaijan, or the Altai Central Asian neighbours. Western Russia is basically swamps and plains…
30 for the netherlands cant be right. 30% is below sea level. A few areas might be 30 or 40+ but most are around 0
OP literally took the list of average elevation and then claimed it was the mean elevation. For countries with a low elevation the mean elevation will always be lower than the average, due to the way mountains peak and there is quite a strong limit to how low land can be located.

I say this as as Dane. 34 seems high.
