hong kong, singapore, andorra, san marino, and macau are hella small.

the japanese have always traditionally lived long lives, something in the water i guess

the swedish are notoriously healthy

and the aussies have the best of it all. the outback, the beach, heavy drinking, why would anyone wanna die?
