My guesses were wrong. I guessed that Norway was the happiest and Japan was the saddest.

As long as I’m happy, I don’t really care about the rest of the world.

Not buying that Lithuania thing.

I’d figure that your gripe would be that Czech Republic and Slovakia are equally happy as Greece

Gallup’s misuse of the words “positive” & “negative” is disappointing.
Positive does not mean happy, & negative does not mean unhappy.
You can be positively enraged or positively depressed.
