No prizes for guessing who didn't make the list
BusinessWeek: The (New) World's Happiest Countries
Not completely directly related to HPC but more a Friday interlude to the constant stream of doom. Curiously, some of these most cheerful places are characterized by high taxes, rugged terrain, poor weather, or low income.

I wonder if Ireland, Northern Ireland and Iceland will still be on the list next year?

Most of countries on the list will be in a recession next year. Will they still be so happy, once the free credit completely runs out?

I would like to see the update on this in 1 years time. It think some of them are going to power spectacularly out of this list.
Fluff caused by debt. At least four of the places listed are heading for/in economic meltdown.
I count:
Ireland
Northern Ireland
Iceland
Denmark
Oh well, let the good times roll for now...

The rest on the list rely on other countries keeping spending, so they will go down even harder.
