I've lived in a number of countries, from memory both Kenya and South Africa are exclusively A4 paper countries as are probably all countries in Africa with the close connection all had with Europe. I've also lived in the Middle East (UAE) where they use A4 and A3 size paper. Here in the US many hotels seem to use neither Letter nor Legal size for bills, obviously getting specially cut paper to their own size. Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) used to use many sheets of very small paper, now they use some larger proprietary size, still smaller than letter size, much to my annoyance. I've found many companies in the US come out with odd paper sizes, which I normally get as a bill or statement. I'm going to have to measure some and see exactly how big they are.
