What’s the metrics?
Which place do you think is more happier?
I believe Bhutan is generally considered to be the happiest nation, but I’ve never been there, so don’t quote me on that.
Finland has been selected as the happiest country in the world several years in a row. Suffice to say we Finns aren’t too happy about that.
So happy they keep killing themselves!
That’s contentedness, not happiness.
And it’s reported contetedness.
So essentially the went around asking people how bad they have it. And it’s in Finnish culture never to complain.
And since we have good social security etc, people don’t end up homeless and can still eat.
So… “can’t complain”. And literally, can’t. I’ve tried. Several of the systems we have just ignore the flaws in them as the people they’re mostly for are poor people who have no influence. I was even abused in jail by the police and the guards. Didn’t give me my prescription meds. Watched me go manic three days in a cell, drawing on the walls with my own blood.
The officers who detained me, for weed, at my home, with a bullshit excuse to come in (and then they backdated the search warrant later) told me that I can take my prescription meds as long as they’re in the original packaging.
So my meds were even there.
But they watched me go crazy for 3 days, with no sleep, no food. Even shut off my water at one point.
So yeah, Finland isn’t perfect and we have a lot of mental health issues.
Definitely not “the happiest country in the world” despite the somewhat functional social security.
Lol. As a neighbor, I believe you. Grew up around a lot of Finns and all that grumpiness is just an act. You’re all cuddly inside but afraid to show it. Love you all.
Honestly I dont know but I’d imagine somewhere like South Korea if I had to choose.
They’re embroiled in an ongoing civil war! Or, well, civil stalemate.
Racing Japan for the title of most overworked employees on Earth
And it currently has a higher suicide rate than Japan.
And lowest birthrate.
And there’s nothing peaceful about StarCraft or kpop.
And they have mandatory military service if I’m not mistaken.
South Korea is literally cyberpunk hell on earth…
Greenland
I heard Null Island is pretty peaceful.
But that’s probably because it’s just a buoy.
Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, Singapore, Portugal, Slovenia, Japan, Switzerland, Canada
Portugal.
We’ve been doing our own thing since 1143. People are mostly nice, crime is very low, most social unrest culminates in barbecues instead of burning vehicles, like is usual in France or Spain.
Colonizes all continents on earth, perpetrated the biggest slave trade in history, only decolonizes well after WW2 literally the last country on earth to do so
“Just doing our own thing” lmao
11431822 😅Que bom! (How nice!)
Peaceful and safest? It’s Iceland. For 14 years in a row as of 2024. It is also one of the most homogenous and isolated.
No one’s said Canada yet? It’s probably Canada.
Agreed. Sometimes I imagine living in Montreal where I can learn French there and because of the National Film Board located over there. Sometimes I want to be American instead.
It just depends on where I feel like living in.
I haven’t heard anything crazy going on Sealand.
but it’s not a place I would dream of going either.
Sealand actually has actually been involved in some crazy shit during its history.
Particularly if you want to look at stuff per capita
We were. But now number one Gun crime country in Europe. Woohoo!
Andorra?
When was the last time you heard it on the news?
The country that was at war with Germany for 43 years?
But who hasn’t?
Japan has to be a strong contender, if you are looking for peacefulness in your day to day life
the work life balance in Japan is pretty fucked up, isn’t it?
It depends on who you work for and what industry you’re in, but it is not as bad as it used to be. Have friends that worked in Japan
Can’t be violent if you’re busy working or too tired after work…
Saw a movie many years ago about…Taiwan, I think. The people were worried about hurting the WORMS when building a temple.
So I would say Taiwan if you mean “not bellicose”. Or do you mean serene?
San Marino, or as ancient Rome called it, "YOU DID WHAT‽"
