Masha:
I get it. They counted the "ecological footprint" as one of the measures of "happiness." Since the US has a high ecological footprint, it cannot be happy.  :::D

They also have a measure of "overall life satisfaction," which is very high in Central America and Cuba. That's interesting. If they are so satisfied then why do they try to escape to the US and other Western countries both legally and illegally. Just tells you how much you could trust surveys like this by NGOs.

Spectator:
It may be true. People in such places are regulary brainwahsed that they live in the happiest place. Only few of them have access to information from sources other than the government ones.

Besides, they are occupied with sustaining their basic needs, so when they succeed in it, they feel really happy. When you manage to get a piece of bread to you or you family, you'll feel happy that you or the family are not going to starve.
