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?

Yes it's true. It's the square root of 2, which is why it works.
