Are large,rich countries like the USA happier than rest of the world? Are countries with nice weather and good food,like Italy and Spain,happier?
It seem the answer is ‘no’. Research says that little Hapland, with its five-and-a-half million people, is the happiest country in the world. Why?
The weather in Hapland is cold and rainy. Their neighbours, the Norwegians, are richer than they are their other neighbours, the Swedes, are just as tall and blond and more sporty, but it seem they’re not as happy. Tahiti or Bail might be more beautiful than Hapland but the people of Hapland are happier than the people in those exotic places.
So what makes the Haplandders happy? We asked some students at the University of Hapland for their opinions…
‘In 1992, we won the European cup! We beat bigger, stronger teams than us; that victory made us very happy. And, you know they say blond people have more fun than the rest of the world; we have more beautiful blondes than anywhere else. Just joking!.
