The Countries At The Bottom Of The List.
154. Afghanistan.
155. Central African Republic.
156. Sudan.
Clearly it is best to live somewhere that has proper cold winters!
(Though on second thoughts, that’s not definitive as I think Afghanistan has cold winters)
TheKevster,…It was a fairly powerful generalization .
I have lived in Oslo,Norway…and also been in the other three countries you mention,but it’s nothing I noticed.
I think one should be careful,about painting whole nations in a way that you do.
I do not think they got in the top of the list,if the whole country been drinking too much alcohol .
Do they? Alcohol is very expensive indeed compared to UK. When I was last in Notway skiing there were Swedes there, and admittedly they were drinking a lot - but someone said that was because alcohol was even more expensive than in Norway, so they pop over the border for a drink and a bit of skiing in between…
Hey Peder, Finland and Sweden are wonderful countries. But young people are drinking a lot and suicide attempts are the biggest in Finland, Russia, Lettonie vs Europe countries. From what i read…
But Come On Now Guys,…you shouldn’t well go on TheKevster’s nonsense.
This statement from TheKevster is just ridiculous.
Is this even worth discussing,I think TheKevster appears as an Internet-troll.
In addition,…if we are now going to talk about alcohol and pubs,the UK has considerably more pubs than Norway,Sweden etc,etc.
The difference is, that a lot of Brits seemingly drink to excess, which I does not seem to be tge case with the French, or other traditional wine-producing countries. (I don’t know about the Nordic countries - on the whole I suspect that the cost of alcohol limits consumption - which might be the intention.)
Monty Python got there first:
Finland, Finland, Finland. The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner, or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland is for me.
Your mountains so lofty, your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
Interesting comparing “Happiness” ranking against suicide rates & it seems many of the high happiness countries also rank high in the suicide rates.

It seems that Britain tops Finland and France - Denmark, Sweden and Norway are way down the list (OECD countries - 2015). I’ve been to all Scandinavian nations: an Icelandic town on a Saturday night is quite a sight, but it’s very quiet the rest of the week…
As someone born in the Uk, having moved to Canada as a child, and having visited most places discussed on the list, it’s more about the attitudes of the people living there than anything else. What’s left of “historic” Britain, our inbred sense of self deprecating humour is what distinguishes is from the rest. Might not make us the happiest, but it makes us the best. The Scandinavians are awfully close. Canada in there too.
Finland,…Happiest Country In The World.
