Well it looks like you are in the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO LIVE IN !
The Index allows citizens to compare well-being across 34 countries, based on 11 dimensions the OECD has identified as essential, in the areas of material living conditions and quality of life: housing, income, jobs, community, education, environment, governance, health, life satisfaction, safety, work-life balance.

When is this Fn rain goint to stop!!!

I'm sure that the OECD's analysis is completely accurate, incisive, objective and unquestionable....but if we are #1 on any list where #2 is the good ol' U.S. of A., I'd rather be in last place.

Wasn't Bhutan rated in 1st place on the Gross National Happiness index. Where do Cuba and North Korea figure on these lists?
