    It’s a survey, so on top of people ranking themselves based on how they feel (democracies seemingly tending to say “could be a lot better”) you have autocracies drilling into their peoples heads to never shit talk the government or else. So of course you’ll end up with a ranking like this (on that note: did they also survey the Uyghurs in china or was forced labor taken out of the equation? Same goes for Saudi Arabia)

      That is a possible explanation, but I don’t understand why these same errors don’t show up literally anywhere else. Shouldn’t Turkey, China, and India be in the running for happiest countries in the world too then? And why aren’t even more repressive autocratic countries ranked even higher? Is it really so hard to complain about healthcare access to a foreign pollster in India?
