Please do tell me how that index promotes white nationalism, I'm genuinely curious to hear about it. I'd also like for you to elaborate on the second part, because usually the less human rights and stability there are, the less happy people are, but apparently that's a crazy idea for some utterly unfathomable reason.
Sense of well-being, stability, financial security, societal structures. All co-exist and lets people focus less on survival and more on what they want in life.

Le gasp! The Finnish audacity never ceases to bamboozle!
You win this one, Finland, but you still have... uh... um... mykyrokka! Yes! Suffer!!
...Then I remembered we have Svartsoppa... T.T
I see a lot of happy countries that have socialism. No sorry, capitalism with strong welfare policies.
I thought diversity was strength?
Canada is on that list, so its more like diversity has no bearing on this index what so ever one way or another. Those country have strong social programs and less incomes uncertainty thats the only thing you can link them on. Per capita Canada takes in more Immigrants then the US, more then anyone else in G7. Yet its the only G7 country that makes this list every year?

Browsed over the report, but it kind of makes sense, especially when you skip to the end concerning the changes in their results over the years. The big flaw with this report is that it's largely based upon perception, not necessarily reality. With respect to the US, it's pretty evident if you just turn on the news: it's almost all exclusively negative media 24/7. You expose a populace to such things, it has a negative effect on them, such as their perception of happiness. As a recent example, the current job market is the best it's been in about 100 years, yet I can guarantee you that many people don't feel or perceive this to be reality (despite it being reality)... and this is mostly due to the constant negative media exposure that bombards people all day, every day, about how life is miserable and X/Y/Z is wrong with the world and <insert random person> is the devil.
“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
Finnish native paganism is not the same as Norse and there was no Odin there. Finland isn’t technically even Scandinavia.
I don’t like these stats. They seem to give accurate info at least in some way but still they are based on some preconceptions and actually prove nothing just like any statistic.

Some slaves always want to be slaves even after you abolish slavery.

Surprised we’re as high up as 106. With the genocide and all that. I guess the people that are happy at doing the genociding are pushing the numbers up.

They don't. They rank 41 on positive effect. They just do pretty well in other things
