Finland has been crowned the happiest country in the world for the seventh consecutive year.
The World Happiness Report released its annual rankings of the happiest countries on Wednesday, with the majority of the top spots going to European nations.
The report, published by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, relies on data from the Gallup World Poll, which is analyzed by some of the world's leading well-being scientists.
The rankings represent the average view of life satisfaction in respective countries, known as "subjective well-being."
Finland has managed to hold onto the top spot despite Denmark significantly closing the gap between first and second place.
On the flip side, Afghanistan, which was also ranked in last place in 2023, dropped even further for average happiness. America also saw a drop in perceived quality of life, dropping out of the top twenty countries for the first time since the report was published.
Here's the full list of the top twenty happiest countries in the world, according to the report.
