Well yes, the rest of the world does have better paper. 21×29.7, the only ratio to conserve itself when halving the sheet

Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?

It's called the Golden Ratio and has a lot of neat properties! Da Vinci and other nerds love(d) using it in art.
