Finland scores high on global scales of happiness. Many people assume this is because there isn’t much income disparity here. But perhaps it’s also because everyone has access to what makes them happy—a bunch of lakes, forests and coastlines, combined with ridiculously long, state-sanctioned vacations and a midnight sun. (Of course, there is a flipside, the grim, dark winters, when Finns drink too much and act up, unless they’re skiing.)
