(Un) Happy Planet Index

Just found the website of Happy Planet Index. I think some hacker (or cracker as some of them would preferred themselves to be called, NUT cracker more likely!) has put "Un" before the word Happy.

Some interesting notes:


  • Vanuatu Island is the most happy nation
  • Malaysia (44th) is ranked just one rank above Palestine, of all the nations in the world
  • Even Switzerland is ranked 65th
  • Lebanon is ranked 83rd, above New Zealand who is ranked 94th
  • UK is ranked 108th
  • USA (150th) is ranked just above Ivory Coast and Rwanda, but below Burkina Faso and Lithuania
  • Zimbabwe ranked bottom of the ranking

There you go!
