North Korea: One of the Happiest Places on Earth?
By: HILLARY BRENHOUSE (2 hours ago)

According to a global happiness index released in North Korea, the country and its allies are the most cheerful countries in the world. Naturally, the “American Empire” strikes Pyongyang as just plain sad.

Shanghaiist reports that North Korea's Chosun Central Television recently came out with a happiness index compiled by local researchers. Their findings? China is the happiest place on the planet, earning 100 points (a perfect score!). At number two is none other than North Korea itself. Cuba, Iran and Venezuela (in that order) round out the top five.


The United States places dead last, coming in 203rd. South Korea is nearly just as depressed a nation; it ranks 152nd on the list. Some spots, North Korea's research indicates, are just nowhere near as smiley as the Axis of Evil.

The Chinese net is ablaze with the results, screen grabs of which have been posted to popular sites. Implored one commenter on the Chinese online forum Mop: “Please send me to the U.S. so I can suffer, too.” (via Shanghaiist)

I am honestly not surprised. I let a Chinese man cross at a stop sign and he acted like I just gave him my life savings. Just hopped across the street (literally) smiling and waving the whole time. True story.

You did do a great act of kindness for him. That would NEVER happen in China; they really do drive like 3 year olds over there!

i'm not sure who rated it (not north koreans) but when i was in the hotel in the philippines dropping the kids off at the pool, some of the reading material about the philippines said that in multiple independent studies they were often rated one of the most happy nations, despite being rather poor.

overall people did seem to be genuinely pretty smiley. i was also happy there because tall white american = rockstar
