The ten happiest countries in the world

According to these guys, at least:

10. Austria
9. Israel
8. Finland
7. Switzerland
6. Sweden
5. The Netherlands
4. Australia
3. Norway
2. Canada
1. Denmark

Nobody in Sweden seemed that happy in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. What really strikes me about this list is that most of these countries are small and samey. Most of them are a bunch of the same kinds of people clumped together. Even Australia and Canada, while big, are made up of lots of open space, with people kind of clumped together. Also, it helps to be rich and white.
