Norway is as happy as Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Finland (well, Finland a bit less). Scandinavian countries are very very similar of eachother. I'm Norwegian, so I might know Scandinavia better than many people. The five Scandinavian countries, along with many others like Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, etc..., are the happiest on Earth. And sorry for my awful English, I'm not very good at English
Any of those Scandinavian countries are usually happier. They have a government of the people by the people. It just happens to be Norway usually wins out. They just seem like very chill people and when you are chill you are happy.

I think the Netherlands is one of the happiest countries in the world. The Netherlands + Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria are the best and most succesfull countries, combining market economies with large welfare states. That's why the US is absolutely not that great at all, although Americans think they are.
In The Netherlands everyone watch WK and EK football, also if they don't like football, and if they score a goal, they are so happy! People in The Netherlands are just happy.
The Netherlands are one of the most happiest countries in the world... Look it up, it's a fact..

There used to be reasonable leaders from both sides of the political aisle. I believe Obama has tried to work with Republicans but they are having none of it. It's well known that right after Obama was elected, Republicans held a meeting at which they decided to vote against everything Obama proposed. And we have a very lazy media in this country. Our T.V. news people used to be journalists, nowadays they are more like Hollywood celebrities. They spend their newscasts telling you more about the strange and unusual than anything of real usefulness, that's why Trump is getting so much more coverage than the other presidential candidates. Since the American people are told very little, they know very little. Polls are taken which show Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Yet when people are asked specifically about the provisions of the Act, they are ...more
