If there were none, it would not be conventional!

I seems that the level of happiness was partly determined by polling a
random sample of the residents of the various countries.

"To determine the world’s happiest country, researchers analyzed
comprehensive Gallup polling data from 143 countries for the past
three years, specifically monitoring performance in six particular
categories: gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy
life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of
the general population, and perceptions of internal and external
corruption levels."

From that perspective, I would think that the Democratic People's
Republic of (North) Korea would be the happiest country.  Just ask any
DPRK resident and they would likely claim they are extremely happy
with conditions in their country.  Of course, if they answered
anything else, they would immediately be invited to visit the nearest
re-education center for an attitude re-adjustment.

Are happy people more likely to respond to polsters? Are unhappy
people less likely to admit it? Is complacency confused with
happiness?
