Interesting map. I read about why Finland is considered the happiest country in the world. It’s not because they are the richest country. It’s because they have a solid social support system that offers free or nearly free healthcare, childcare, education, affordable housing, and other social services. These things provide everyone’s overall happiness and well-being. Of course, you can’t have these benefits without paying high taxes for the government to take care of you.

Nah this is not it, there should be a massive difference between happiness and quality of life, having everything doesn’t mean you are happy, and living in poor condition doesn’t mean you are miserable.
In countries like Scandinavian, they have excellent quality of life, but their people are grumpy, not social, and have fun only under alcohol, they live half of the year in grueling winter, and total darkness, and they have some of the highest levels of depression.
On the other hand you see people who live in poor conditions that are always smiling, sociable, happy.

Sure, it seems like money buys happiness—at least to some degree. For the most part, the wealthiest countries are the happiest.

Large countries probably have wide variations in happiness from region to region?
