Happiness lists are abused and misused. I know from personal experience that at least 3 countries in that list have some of the highest rates of anxiety and depression. For example, depression and boredom are so common in Uruguay that finding web sites and blogs about this topic is not difficult. It's also the country with the highest suicide rate in Latin America...

I agree with you, but this index isn't based purely on happiness, it also relies on life expectancy, inequality of outcomes and most importantly on the average ecological impact of each resident. This is why countries like Germany didn't make it to the top, because their ecological footprint is too big.

I have a hard time seeing Palestine and Bangladesh on this list! Palestine is poor, segregated and life in the Gaza Strip is notoriously miserable, while Bangladesh is crowded and constantly floods. Good quiz nonetheless, I had fun guessing all of the answers :)
