Terrain!! Terrain!!

Is not the selection of the Transition Altitude governed to a certain extent by the height of the highest terrain in the relevant FIR.
ie The TA should be higher than the highest terrain . I think that this is the case in most places with a few obvious exceptions ...Tibet, Switzerland ??
