A relatively happy Finn here. I think a high level of mutual trust on many levels is the key here. You pay high taxes, but you get a lot in return and see how your tax money benefits society as a whole. In UK it was shocking to see so many homeless people, you don't see that in Helsinki.

China's ranking is off. The Chinese can't be that unhappy. The Edelman Trust Barometer for 2023 shows that 89 percent of Chinese trust their government. Latana's Democracy Perception Index for 2022 shows that 83 percent of Chinese believe their country is the most democratic in the world. The Ash Center at Harvard Kennedy School in 2020 shows that 95.5 percent of Chinese are satisfied with their government. A November 2019 Ipsos survey shows that 95 percent of Chinese believe their country is on the right track. The Global Happiness 2023 report from Ipsos says China is the happiest country in the world.
