Finland named happiest country for 6th year running

I miss the weekend summerhouse / sauna culture there, and I can imagine that is a contributing factor to happiness, along with the excellent education system, and beautiful countryside. It's a shame drinking and gambling are also central, but maybe that is what makes people happy too. After all, what is happiness?

Interesting, considering is one of the developed countries with the highest suicide rate.

I think in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r... the highest rate of developed countries is South Korea, Russia or South Africa depending on your criteria of developed-ness.

I wonder what's going on in Lesoto, at #1 their rate is more than twice of the #2 country.

The nordic countries mostly seem rank fairly high relative to the public image they have. Norway, Sweden, Finland are all above the European average but Denmark is below.

Which goes to show how such metrics don't measure anything...
