Which region has the tallest people?

Maybe a boring question.Watch it out that I'm not asking for country.

Probably Norway/Iceland or anyway north Europe, i think males there are like 6 feet tall on average

What was the average height there, on your feelings?
Have you ever been in Sweden /Norway?

Netherlands, Serbian and South Sudanese are the tallest people actually in average (it may changed, don't forget that American where the tallest at one time)
the difference is that South Sudanese are thinner and have longer legs and arms giving them a very tall appearance. And even though they are living in very bad conditions, they still keep their tall stature. It is the same with Somalian who remains quite tall (but not as much as European people)
however the average in northern europe is absolutely not 6ft (except maybe in Netherlands, but even there is it rather something between 180 and 182)

there is some stereotypes coming mainly from northern european proudness who wants to make us believe that all southern european are short people. In reality, if you look at national average, it is quite minimal. Maybe one inch or two at best

I have been in Norway and they are not giants
maybe 5'10 ?
I have the impression that, looking at the younger generations only, average is pretty much the same everywhere in Europe. It may change by a few centimeters, maybe 5 cm between the shortest european and the tallest

recently, a Croatian study showed an average of 187 cm for younger people. You can believe it if you want, but it is absolutely unbelievable
