Does anyone know where the nation of Tonga came in on the Happy Planet Index?

Answer 1

Tonga was 24th on the list.

I am struck by how many Central American countries are on the list above Tonga! Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador.

It's a bit surprising to see Viet Nam high on the list too!

Interesting that the US is very low on the list. The index is calculated by multiplying Life Satisfaction grade to Life Expectancy and dividing by Ecological Footprint. I guess that means that if you don't care about the Ecology, you'd be VERY happy in the US!
