I come from a long line Danes and Norwegians (born and raised in the states) and my family would always joke that reason these countries keep making the top of the happiness list is because if you ever ask a scandavian if they're happy they will tell you oh sure, I am fine.
The answer is easy. Nordic countries aren't ruled by corporate agendas the way the more populous countries in the West are ruled by them. The influx of big money into politics is ruining everything.

I am living in Sweden and have contacts in Finland so I really recognise what you are describing here. Thanks :)!
Have you been happier since you moved there?
