The World Happiness Report 2018

Finland is the happiest country in the world, according to the latest World Happiness Report.
Norway, last year's winner, came in second place in the 2018 report. It's followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.
The World Happiness Report was released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations on March 14, days before World Happiness Day on March 20.
The report ranks countries on six key variables that support well-being: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, social support and generosity.
"The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries -- Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland -- have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report," said report co-editor John Helliwell, a professor emeritus of economics at the University of British Columbia.
The United States' ranking is dropping
The United States landed in 18th place, dropping four spots from last year.

White folks create awesome living environments when it’s only other white folks around. Imagine that

I wonder how happy they'll be when they have more and more muzzies to pay for.

Fiction.
Zimbabwe is 144th and is nearly 100% homogeneous racially.
ETA:
In fact, the bottom 15 aren't very racially diverse at all

My b-i-l has spent months at a time in Malta, says it's doable for moneyed Americans.
The furriners keep washing up on the shores though.
Not as bad as Lampedusa but still a presence.
