jokes aside, denmark is listed as one of the happiest countries in the world because if you complain you become outcast, probably the least effecient country when it comes to democracy as it's not really a democracy when majority of the parties all are of the same breed and the majority people of the countries people are too silent to for anything to be done about it. Denmark has freedom of speech and expression, but still when people protest against the popular opinion in denmark they get arrested, all against human rights and danish laws. Denmark is still a lovely country and people in denmark are mostly friendly (all countries have their hooligans and bigots) but to live in denmark requires a certain self control and self denial + the ability to keep your opinions to your self unless it is of the same as the popular opinion in the country at that given time. next there of, denmark is a very capitalistic country with "paid benfits" going to the doctor in denmark is "free" but medicin is not (usually medicin is really expensive in denmark and the price can change drastically from one day to another) you do get to use emergency hospitals "for free" and denmark also has "free" education. i'm putting "free" in quotations, as in denmark you also pay the low amount of minimum 37% of your salery in taxes so nothing in denmark is free and also, you don't get paid that much to live on when attending education/school, you get paid just enough to pay for a 1 room flat, most have to work to earn money to actually live, for transport and food. If a job isnt available for you, you can LOAN money from the government with a fixed rent, and almost everyone in denmark ends up with a debt on their education LOAN that they pay off the rest of their lives besides the minimum 37% in taxes. So no, nothing in denmark is free and most of what you pay for, most people don't use it or need it and still people complain about people who do need it and look down on people who are in need of help. what i want to say with this message is, that denmark and the people of denmark are lovely, if you come as tourist and have money (they love that, as do all tourist countries) but living in denmark is something completely different, under the lovely surface of "happy society" is a dark and grey everyday feel that causes many people in denmark to be depressed, while being depressed is also an illness and is there for something you need help with and people tend to not wanting to be one of those that needs help because they are kind of looked down upon, so many people in denmark are depressed, but lies about it, not just to others but to them selves in order to stay "happy" / fitting in. And luckily you still got lovely people in denmark who are aware and who do try their best to make a difference in their everyday life trying to make communities so people can come together and not feel alone. It's a split country, but happiness is not achieved, but no doubt it's a goal many people try and reach for denmark.

It's not sunny enough to be the happiest city ! Why on Earth does that not factor into these dumb equations, it is scientifically proven that sunny days make us happier.

I live in Denmark and the weather is, well danish. But maybe not having the sun all of the time, makes you appreciate it more? I know, that every time the sun is out here, people are sitting and enjoying themselfes, on every little ince of grass. That beeing said, our country can be a shitshow, just like every other place on the earth 😊

it is based on asking a lot of people to judge how they feel themselves. It is not some scientist running equations on things like how sunny it is! It is based on how Danes self report, compared to how people in other countries self report.
