Using data from NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, Visual Capitalist mapped the 20 world countries based on their average heights. (And just for context, the average height for a human globally is five feet four inches)

The tallest country in the world is the Netherlands, where the average heights for men and women are six feet and 5 feet 7.1 inches, respectively.

Montenegro follows closely behind, with men averaging six feet and women averaging 5 feet 6.9 inches.

Nineteen of the world's top 20 countries for height belong to Europe; the only non-European country on the list is Dominica, in the Caribbean.
