Wooooooooo! Look how smart I am, leaving a country thats ranked 11 for a country thats ranked 52 :D:D

But I didnt think Finland would be 1st. Was expecting Ireland to be alot higher as well.

Meh, they should put a 'happiness" criteria in it, the African country's would do a lot better then.

Where are all the former soviet union country's? I bet things aren't so good there as well.

I loled that they say we are politicly stable(Belgium, 19) We haven't had a government in, euhm, 4 years?

federal level is indeed a joke, hover the counties (gewesten) more or less function, and are keeping the nation running I guess.

Yeah they said the same about the Netherlands, but I guess they mean that there aren't any civil unrest activities going on.

Surprised?

We're 28th. And Czech Republic is 25th. Always wanted to live there. But Austria is always my dream.

Pretty sure it goes into health category as happiness or depression are part of mental health.

Probably that along with cardiovascular disease is what brings health part in Finland that low.

Climate should be part of that though and should bring Finland to bottom, -30 sucks big time.

I too wonder what a happiness factor would do, IIRC suicide rate is quite high in Finland?

Netherlands 8, not that bad. Political climate ranked 3rd, because everyone laughs at politicians?  :P

yeah saw that list, it's fake. Sweden is the best country in the world, not the third best.
