I thought these studies were partially debunked because of differing cultural perceptions on what "happiness" entails?
So you're saying European countries are the best.
Just wait until you get more diversity. Take a look at Brazil.

And how, pray tell, is this measured?
I live in Denmark. Our government is often cited as being super duper nice, but honestly I'm just not seeing that, and that's despite the fact that I am currently performing a contract for the government in my day job that involves creating a registry of all buildings in the country.
There is an unbelieveable amount of corruption and our welfare system is full of holes in all sorts of places you don't find them. Sure, we don't have a great deal of homeless people, and those we have chose it themselves because they, like I, do not equate happiness with wealth.
That's a pretty dumb conclusion given that literally ALL of the countries on the list are capitalist. Sure, they have elements of socialism, but only to the extent that people get an equal start in life and aren't left to die if they get ill. However, in Denmark an engineer will earn 3x as much as a social worker. Sounds like good old fashioned capitalism to me.
These countries do have one thing in common, however: There are MANY parties in their parliaments. They all have pretty good voting system, and they are all governed by the rule of law.
